Wonderful members of 24Seven.FM,
As many of you are aware, our sites have been having some issues come up over the last couple of years, and while we have been able to apply band-aids to some of them, there are just so many band-aids that we can place on a 20 year old framework.
That being said, we are now on the search for someone who does freelance web development, who knows Apache, PHP, SSL, and MySQL. At the moment, we are looking to upgrade the website to support the HTTPS protocol, bringing our website more in line with the more common security practices of today's web browsing experience. In addition to this, we are looking for someone who can get the websites and PayPal to properly communicate with each other again.
If you are interested, please send Jeric an email at jeric.247@gmail.com for more information.
Thank you!
MorG

Good to know!
Moving the pages to https should not be a problem with LetsEncrypt if self hostet. If its hosted somewhere else one could use a free SSL cert from a domain reseller. I have all my domains at https://porkbun.com which offers SSL for free for .com domains.
My time with PHP and Apache was long ago so I am of little help here I guess.
Also I am spending my freetime finetuning the 24seven.fm iOS app from time to time, so I am not sure I can commit to another side job. Besides I wonder what is wrong with the current setup? The site is working, just not HTTPS.
The SOAP API could also be tweaked a bit but thats only a minor issue.
What exactly is the problem with the donation PayPal button? |

It's more an issue of when folks make payments via PayPal for VIP or donations, it's working on the PayPal side, but not being communicated and updated automatically on our end.

Understood. So the feedback channel is broken probably because PayPal changed its always bad API over the years. I could take a look at that, if I can get access to the source code somehow. The successful subscription will be sent back to a specified URL here, which should update the user database in turn. |

Quoting from a different discussion in our forums:
| Atanamo wrote: |
The last few years clearly show an increasing focus of browsers and other platforms on security by HTTPS (SSL/TLS).
At the same time, technical barriers for supporting SSL/TLS came down, thanks to LetsEncrypt, for example.
The insecure HTTP protocol will probably become obsolete in the long term. HTTP websites are already disadvantaged, for example by Google search.
And there are numerous technical limitation in mixing HTTPS content with HTTP.
For example, this means that the SST radio stream cannot be embedded in an HTTPS page.
So SST is hindering its own accessibility on the web so far. |

The stream and the webpage would have to go HTTPS. I am not sure if the old Shoutcast Server "supports" it, but after all its just a protocol switch, that is usually handled by a revers proxy like apache or nginx and the underlaying server software doesn't know anything about it.
What I meant was that the page can stay as it is from functionality and such. No need to redesign everything (a monumental task!). |

That's a good thing indeed.

It's so funny that I had discovered this this post, while copying the
SST interface for another website that i'm working on. LOL |
