I have a site that can be accessed both through http (http://mysite.com) and https (https://mysite.com). The https version holds secured content, while the http content is for public use. Both contents are on the same server.
Some of the https pages contain some elements such as images that are hosted on the http pages. So when one goes to the https site, IE’s security alert pops up saying that the content required contains nonsecure data. knowing that there is no risk anyway, I want to stop that popup. Is this something to be done only through the IE’s settings on the client side or do I need to do something about the SSL certificate and configurations? Any guide is highly appreciated.
IE isn’t the only browser that will give a popup of that nature. From memory, Firefox and Chrome have similar warnings (like they remove the padlock, or make the
httpsgo red in the address bar, instead of green).The only way you can get it to go away is to only reference https resources in https pages. Have you checked to see what you’re referring to doesn’t have a secure version? All of the tools I have used generally have an equivalent
