I am implementing Google Analytics on my mobile web application, and I need to know why are there two URLs used:
https://ssl.google-analytics.com
http://www.google-analytics.com
Do I need them both? (I have a problem using https in this application).
Found the answer on Analytics Help:
The Google Analytics tracking code is now the same for both secure and non-secure websites. The new tracking code detects the protocol of the page being tracked and matches the security of your web page automatically. Pages with URLs beginning with http:// will download the non-secure version at http://www.google-analytics.com/ga.js and pages with URLs beginning with https:// will load the secure version at https://ssl.google-analytics.com/ga.js. No modification of the tracking code on secure pages is required.
