SSL - Partially Encrypted

After installing an SSL, a commmon subsequent issue (in most modern browsers) is the the dreaded "Connection Partially Encrypted" warning.

 partiallyEncrypted

The error suggested there are unsecured assets/content ieing pulled remotely on the site in secure mode (HTTPS). For example, if the site is hosted with AUSWEB and you have are sourcing images and/or scripts on another unsecured domain.

How to resolve:

  • Transfer all offending links/resources (remote content) into the secure area also, or remove them to see if it solves your problem.
  • Use a javascript if/else to check if https is on, and request the correct version. You can see how Google analytics handles this here: http://www.google.com/support/analytics/bin/answer.py?answer=55483
  • Use a plugin/addon for your CMS such as the Wordpress HTTPS

Hint: You can source common javascript libraries (jQuery, Mootools, Prototype) from Google's CDN as it supports HTTPS.
