Not all items are secure when in ssl
Problem:
When set to use an ssl address I am getting a warning that not all items are secure.Solution:
The reason that you ever see a message like that is because there issomething being reference improperly in the html for use on an https
address. Typically this is because something is referenced absolutely
instead of relatively.
Below is our best attempt to explain this and please forgive any html inaccuracies as it is for point demonstration only.
If you were wanting to call an image in html and the image is located at:
http://www.geodesicsolutions.com/images/someimage.jpg
You could do so with the below image tag absolutely:
<img src=http://www.geodesicsolutions.com/images/someimage.jpg>
Or relatively
<img src=images/someimage.jpg>
If done relatively then the missing path information is filled in relative to where the page is located that is being viewed on the site in either http or https. So if done relatively, viewing the page from https the image is called from https://www.geodesicsolutions.com/images/someimage.jpg and if viewing the page from http then the image is called from
http://www.geodesicsolutions.com/images/someimage.jpg. Either address the image is called properly but most importantly it is being called from https when needed and is therefore secure and will not cause any warnings in the browser.
TIP: To find out where the image is being reference when viewing the page in a browser, right click on an image an view its properties.
Hope this helps
