this error means that there is code on the page calling content with a full url using the http protocol. could be an image tag, could be a script tag:
<img src="http://mydomain.com/image.jpg" />
look for any content that is being referenced using a full URL. on the page.
Hi Jason
Does this include links to fqdn's ?
yes, any link that goes to an HTTP address:
somepage.htm
will be pulling unsecured data into your SSL secured page and will cause that warning in IE.
that could be a bit of a pain, aspecially if there are sponsors & adverts
is the best solution to redirect to https only the pages that need to be secure, and leave the remainder as http: ?
yes, it does get to be bothersome when there is out side content.
yes, only securing the pages that need to be secured is the best solution.
thanks jason, i'll get my htaccess book out !!
