Title: https v http
Post by: Luci on Wednesday, August 31, 2011, 15:09:45
I know its deadline day and all but need help!

Basically, we have an intranet but its kind of like an internal facebook and I have been creating a group on there and have used a picture from google on one of the links.

When I open it, I get a message stating "are you sure you want to view content securely" and always have to click no in the grey box before I can open the page.

I know its something to do ith the fact my images used are http instead of https but how or where can I host images to ensure they are acceptable and stop getting that damn error message?!  :crash: :smack:

Can you not host the image on your intranet?

If I do that, do i then have to hit right click and then properties?

No idea what you mean.

The easier option is to just disable the warning in your browser settings.

Or stop stealing other people's images ;)

Most likely caused by mixing http and https on the same page.

Which is your intranet? http or https?

You might be able to fix it by editing the link to the image and changing it to match.

Or maybe there is an image upload facility in the software you use for your intranet. Any idea what it is?

How do I disable the warning?  I have saved the photos on the intranet but can't link them to the page with the URL (as it comes up with 2 error boxes)

Its https - I tried adding an s to the link and it failed :-(

In which case I'm guessing the error message says "are you sure you wish to view non-secure content". To get rid of it you need the image to be hosted somewhere via https - the place your intranet is served from would be the best bet.

You sure there isn't an image uploaded facility on it? Maybe have a word with the people that maintain it?

The guidelines on our website tell me this:

Link URLs must use fully qualified domain name e.g. https://www.google.com
Images must be hosted securely on an https site e.g. https://www.site.com/testimage.jpg

so if you have copied it to your site then put your image link including the url of your intranet... https://my.intranet.com/imagelocation/imagename
