[support] authorize.php problem?

[Sohodojo Jim]

Hey Warren,

Might the non-working site have the Secure Pages module (or something
similar) running? 

Sometimes the "quick/transparent switch" between HTTP and HTTPS URLs --
especially as it relates to the built-in module update process involving the
authorize.php script -- can play havoc with you. If you have an HTTP/HTTPS
switching configuration, try disabling it with your site in maintenance mode
and see if that works.

The one mitigating factor here that doesn't jibe with my own experience is
your apparent WSOD. With the HTTP/HTTPS issue, you are more likely to get
your home page with a "No active batch" error message.
