HTTPS Warnnig

Get Started
1

Hey everyone,
I am noticing this HTTPS error when browsing the site in IE8:

1280×1024 170 KB

(Windows XP SP3, IE8 v8.0.6001.18702)

Would this have anything to do with .htaccess or a server side setting for HTTPS authentication?

I believe it has something to do with public computer access too because I am not seeing this on my home computer which is running IE8.

Also, just to point out, this is only ever an issue when browsing from the basket page (https) back to a normal page (http)… it seems to keep the https wherever you go after browsing the basket page and perhaps this is the issue that needs to be resolved…

A link to the site can also be found here:

Thanks,

Interesting… Thanks for the info here folks!

HTTPS also slows down the site a bit too, right?
We noticed other commerce websites only show HTTPS on the shopping cart pages and the rest of the site is HTTP…

Something like that would be done through .htaccess, correct?

https is done using a security certificate. You’d only need entries in .htaccess if you want to redirect automatically from http to https without specifying it on the address.

4

Not true. If you include non-secure items in a page that is supposed to be secure then the page is no longer secure because. The warning is there to tell you that the page is not secure despite the https.

Including one non-secure file in a page means that the page is no longer secure and hence it pops up that warning to tell the person.

Yes you can include non-secure items in a secure page but then the page is no longer secure.

5

Technically you can use non-secure images, scripts etc in secure pages, but it just throws up a warning for the user.

6

You just need to change any http:// references in the page to https:// to resolve the problem - assuming that the other sites have the files available via https:// because if they don’t then you can’t use them in a secure page.

7

There’s a trick I remember seeing for when you had stuff http/https:
the urls in the page (like for images and stuff) would just start with the //

the browser would make the assumption everything (if possible!) was served the same protocol, https.

So for example image urls would be
//yourdomain.com/images/yourimage.png

and scripts were called like so
//yourdomain.com/js/somescript.js

however I dunno if that works when calling external things, and if it’s external it might not be offered in https.

8

You’ve got some scripts and images being loaded from external sites that are only on regular http servers, not secure https servers.

Are you referring to the “Add To Any” button?

  <!-- AddToAny BEGIN -->

<a class="a2a_dd" href="http://www.addtoany.com/share_save"><img src="http://s7.addthis.com/static/btn/v2/lg-share-en.gif" width="125" height="16" border="0" alt="Share" style="position:absolute;right:0;margin-right:50px;margin-top:-27px;" class="sharebutton" /></a>
<script type="text/javascript">
var a2a_config = a2a_config || {};
a2a_config.num_services = 8;
a2a_config.color_main = "99996D";
a2a_config.color_border = "6B744B";
a2a_config.color_link_text = "333333";
a2a_config.color_link_text_hover = "333333";
a2a_config.prioritize = ["twitter", "facebook", "digg", "delicious", "email", "technorati_favorites", "google_gmail", "stumbleupon"];
</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://static.addtoany.com/menu/page.js"></script>
<!-- AddToAny END -->

Google Analytics also uses an external js file but I don’t know if we could (or should) internalize this:

ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://ssl' : 'http://www') + '.google-analytics.com/ga.js';

Edit: Oh but it looks like Google is using a secure server anyways so it shouldn’t be a problem. :stuck_out_tongue:
OK, I’m going to adjust the Add To Any button and see if that fixes it!

Thanks

We’d need to see the page source to solve this one since the only reason that message would appear is if there is a reference to something in the page that isn’t using https

  <h3 class="account-h3" style="margin-bottom:5px !important;">Teen Books Synopsis:</h3>
  <p>This colourful account of the Chilcotin War is an insightful and absorbing examination of an event that helped to shape the course of British Columbia history. In the spring of 1864, 14 men building a road along the Homathko River in British Columbia were killed by a Tsilhqot&#65533;in (Chilcotin) war party. Other violent deaths followed in the conflict that became known as the the Chilcotin War. In this true tale of clashing cultures, greed, revenge and betrayal, Rich Mole explores the causes and deadly consequences of a troubling episode in British Columbia history that is still subject to debate almost 150 years later. Using contemporary sources, Mole brings to life the principal players in this tragic drama: Alfred Waddington, the Victoria businessman who decided to build the ill-fated toll road across the territory of the independent Tsilhqot&#65533;in, attempting to connect Bute Inlet to the Cariboo goldfields of the interior, and Klatsassin, the fierce Tsilhqot&#65533;in war chief whose people had already endured the devastation of smallpox.</p>
