This is new right?  I heard running sites over https was avoided because of issues with ads but now it looks like the entire network has it.  Connection doesn't run over https by default though, at least not on iOS safari.  You have to type in the url manually, anybody know why?    *EDIT    I guess this is somewhat of a duplicate but I checked the original thread and couldn't find anything anything about typing https manually into the url.  I'd still like to know if it's normal to have to do this or if stack exchange should be connecting automatically over https.

So it looks like Stack Exchange now supports HTTPS (to some extent). Which is awesome! But there are a few problems, the main one being that some content is delivered over the CDN, which is plain HTTP. This causes browsers to complain about "unsecured content":

This is by far the weirdest problem I've come across,  My mac can perfectly access internet through safari web browser, but when I tried to do   ping www.google.com   through the terminal, it's requests is being timed out.  None of the other apps are able to reach internet either. Dropbox, Skype, Spotify all showing offline, except the browser itself  I'm guessing something bad with the DNS, but spend 2 hours trying to fix this with no luck

Can you get an Extended Validation SSL certificate that applies to unlimited subdomains?  Does it make technical sense?  I'm using Digicert and they said that it wasn't possible to offer such a product.

I have an Early 2015 MacBook Pro running OS X 10.11.6 (the latest version of El Capitan) that as of late had started randomly opening a website with the link fastlauncher.xyz [Thanks John Ramos: wouldn't be a good idea to try going to the link.] It does not happen often.    I have tried:   to use the latest version of Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for Mac; it did not detect the adware.  checking the browser extensions for Safari and Chrome, the two browsers I use; but do not see anything suspicious.  checking for Login and Startup Items, nothing suspicious restarting (I'm getting a bit desperate and maybe it'll work - it didn't) using BitDefender (30-day trial); solved the issue   I have not tried:   using only one browser and seeing whether the adware will go away (hence I am unsure whether it is a system virus or isolated to a browser)   So far, the link has only been opened in Chrome. I would prefer manual removal over a program. Will update this list as I go.

I came across something rather interesting today. I was browsing Area 51 on Chrome when I happened to click on . To this, I was greeted with a prompt asking:    As , and fully expecting a crash, I clicked on SE. However, that didnt happen.     Now, since Area 51 Meta is working correctly as far as Q&amp;A is concerned, I think it should be added to the All Sites list and if at all possible, made directly browsable from within the app.

I want to use HTTPS in my ASP.NET web application, but only for the Login.aspx page.   How can this be accomplished?

(I am on macOS 10.14.6 and iOS 12.4)   I am certain that I have trusted my Mac before. Without the latter trust, I can also access the phone in iTunes.   I have tried reset "Location and Privacy" on my phone. Then   When connecting the iPhone with iTunes running, it asks for the trust and I trust it.  Reboot my Mac and the phone asks for another trust.   Is there some known malware mimics system behavior and steal data from an iPhone?  (I do have installed some pir*ted software recently. That's my fault.)

In Drupal 7, I used the Secure login module to run the site on a secure connection, but it seems it doesn't revert back to http on logout. I would like to just run the whole site as https:// as a simplification.  Is there a simple way to do this without the use of module?

About a week ago I made the switch to https on one of my sites. I'm positive I did everything right. Properly setup 301 redirects from http to https versions. Added and verified https version in Webmaster Tools. Updated all internal links. Submitted new sitemap.  Despite that, many of my pages (about 40%) lost their rankings almost immediately. Those that dropped went from page 1 to nowhere. I can still see them indexed if I search for the URL, but otherwise it's like Google doesn't know they exist.  SSL Labs shows an "A" when I run their test and I have no manual actions showing in Webmaster Tools.  This is really frustrating. I don't actually need SSL, but Google finally scared me into it. Now I'm regretting the switch and contemplating going back to non-secured URLs.  Anything else I could have missed?

Is it possible for my ISP to see the passwords that I enter on websites and in chat programs? And what about SSL websites that start with https, do they encrypt my username and password before reaching the ISP?

I was using Safari on my iPad and suddenly a pop up message saying "your device has a virus" appeared. I just clicked okay because that was the only option and then it redirected me to youradexchange.com. Is it possible for my iPad to get a virus?  I'm using iPad mini Retina with iOS 7 and it is not jailbroken.

I follow up on setting up SSL connection to my Apache2 It works well when I access my website from a local IP address but if I use a Dynamic DNS service with HTTPS in the beginning than I doesn't get to the website but actually can see my website folders.  What have I done wrong ?

Clicking on  doesn't connect me with the meta S.Ex.SE site.  EDIT: For some entry points, . Observation courtesy Gilles.  I consider it a pity that the devs have not paid attention to this issue nor have indicated that they noted the problem. While HTTPS is not yet official on this network, I refrain from using unencrypted connections. I can't participate in metas, oh well.  EDIT #2 (2015-11-07) - with the switch to CloudFlare SSL the problem looks finally resolved.  EDIT #3 (2015-11-17) - still getting 403 Forbidden from CloudFlare. D'rats!..  EDIT #4 (2016-01-11) - We're still there. It's 2016 already... Starting a bounty.

When I´m in a secure part of a web-site I´m developing (entering a specific page or folder using https), the relative links to the normal pages are automatically converted to https as well. Is there a way to tell an &lt;a&gt; tag to always use the http protocol instead of the https protocol (or the other way around)? I know it´s easy using the complete link ( or ), but I would like it to work with relative links (index.html, ../index.html, etc.).

Here at Stack Exchange we're working on moving all traffic to SSL. The reason we're not doing logged-in-users only is that one side of the login divide would suffer a redirect from Google every time.  This happens because Google's only going to have http:// or https:// in the results, not both.  Aside from building the SSL infrastructure (), the outstanding question we have is: how do we best transition to SSL?  Here are the relevant bits of our plan (testing on small sites, moving up to stackoverflow.com):   Get SSL ready/enabled (but not linked to) on all domains Start rendering only the &lt;link rel="canonical"&gt; as https:// Start sending a 301 for all http:// requests to https:// (from our domains...of course we can't do anything about all the existing links pointing to us) After a transition period, set all user cookies as secure   So the endgame is having all content delivered over SSL and all HTTP requests redirected.  What we're primarily concerned with is how this will affect PageRank to our sites. We depend a great deal on traffic that comes from Google and want to ensure that doesn't take a dive as we start delivering more security to our users.  The only bits I've found on this that seem to be substantive are  on :     @Frank Yes, I'm certain that Google treats HTTP and HTTPS URLs as separate URLs for crawling, indexing and ranking (I work with the web-search team here at Google). Doing canonicalization with a 301 redirect like you mentioned is a great way to solve this :) –  Oct 23 '10   and the only webmasters video I could find:  The video doesn't have a solid answer, not one I'd base the future of a company on anyway.  Is our transition plan the best way to accomplish an SSL move, at least from an SEO perspective?  If there's other more recent or concrete advice around how a move like this affects Google ranking we'd love to hear about it.

About a year ago, several migration scripts were run to change old HTTP network-internal links across the network to HTTPS links. However, it appears that the script didn't modify links that lack the ending /. For example:         But...    (most of which are posts after the migration script ran; the other two were edited back after Community edited them)  (4 were posted after the script ran, one seems to have been overlooked by the script)   (only one was posted after the script ran)   So, excluding cases where the posts were made after the script ran, were edited back after the script modified them, or were somehow overlooked by the script (probably a separate bug), all of the HTTP links in posts which were added before the script ran have been converted into HTTPS links, if they contained the ending /. Links that didn't contain the ending / were not converted.

This is probably a duplicate, but the &amp;@$#&amp; app won’t let me scroll through the suggestions.  I keep getting “page is restricted” in Safari for pages that are obviously quite innocent.  (Some of them confirmed so by checking on laptop.)  Multiple web pages say Settings: General: Restrictions, but there is no such path in IOS 12.1 and I have so far failed to find anything anywhere in settings.  Checked Privacy, Safari, and several other places.  One of those pages claimed to be telling us that it was for IOS 13.
