Fixing the IE 8 warning - ‘Do you want to view only the webpage content that was delivered securely?’
Sunday, July 12, 2009 at 12:00PM (from http://blog.httpwatch.com)
To download the content a user would nowhave to click on the No button. As we know, most people using the web only scan text and avoid reading it if at all possible! They will usually go for the Yes button if there isnot an OK button.
Some sites are going to find that their secure pages in IE 8 have the following problems:
- Any non-secure HTTP image beacons used for analytics data gathering will often be ignored
- The page may not display or even work correctly if it relies on non-secure images, CSS or Javascript
Therefore, avoiding mixed content on HTTPS pages is even more important now that IE 8 has been released. It often becomes an issue when using third party services such as analytics or Content Delivery Networks (CDN). For example, we avoided the use of Google hosted Ajax libraries on our site until Google added HTTPS support.
An IE user you can disable this warning by:
- Going to Tools->Internet Options->Security
- Select the ‘Security’ tab
- Click the ‘Custom Level’ button
- In the ‘Miscellaneous’ section change “Display mixed content” to Enable

This is for .Net developers who are having security message problem ---
this message is due to mixed(http+https) content on the page. please make sure that ur https page contains only https content on the https page.
i had same problem of security message. my https page did not have any http reference and it was working fine in IE7, and mozila, but testing in IE8 gave me security warning message. using httpwatch i could come to know that following 2 auto generated files(scripts) by .Net were having http refereces (in view source of the page they displayed with relative path so did not get detected as http reference but httpwatch found them as http references:))
1.WebResource.axd(related to js) 2.ScriptResource.axd (related to ajax). i kept both this files in web.config sucure page collection list as below
<file path="WebResource.axd" />
<file path="ScriptResource.axd" />
and now page works fine in IE8 without Security message. Thnx a ton httpwatch n its Team :)
