I am using an iFrame which is hosted on another domain that has an SSL certificate. On the page where the iFrame is used I get 'Not Secure' message next to the domain in Google Chrome and the following warning in the console log:
This page includes a password or credit card input in a non-secure
context. A warning has been added to the URL bar. For more
information.
Note: The iFrame loads an online booking portal which includes both login details and credit card information.
In order to prevent this message from showing, would I need to purchase an SSL certificate?
I'm asking because I don't want to order one if it doesn't resolve the issue, there is a way around this without having to get a SSL certificate or if it's just not worth getting one for this situation.
Your thoughts would be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
To help users browse the web safely, Chrome indicates connection
security with an icon in the address bar. Historically, Chrome has not
explicitly labelled HTTP connections as non-secure. Beginning in
January 2017 (Chrome 56), we’ll mark HTTP pages that collect passwords
or credit cards as non-secure, as part of a long-term plan to mark all
HTTP sites as non-secure.
It applies to all sites that are not https.
Do check for any website which have login information and doesn't have https, you can view the username and password in the chrome developer window.

I have been having some issues connecting to the Developer WAB application from the Enterprise instance I am currently using. I have followed all of the steps outlined in the guide provided by Esri here and seem to be running into an authentication loop in my browser.
There is an error in the web page Console that states that there is 'No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header present on the requested resource'.
The error displaying in the Web AppBuilder for ArcGIS says that there is no token found, and so redirects back to the 'setportalurl' page. Any ideas on how this can be resolved?
No token is found, redirect /webappbuilder/ to /webappbuilder/?action=setportalurl
Cheers
As the Developer WAB uses the machine name and port for it's domain, ArcGIS is rejecting the request for security reasons.
If you paste the full domain into the "Allow Origins" section of your portal's security settings and save, this should then work properly.
Might not be applicable to your scenario, but for people getting the same error when working from localhost this can be an issue with WAB Dev Edition's self-signed cert.
The solution for me was to allow the chrome flag:
chrome://flags/#allow-insecure-localhost
Gravatar is causing mixed content issue especially when a user is logged in. For logged out users, there is no issue. My site loses the green Security (SSL) padlock on the browser. For all the pages which logged in Users visit, there is Mixed content. The message on display by Chrome/Firefox usually
that the page was loaded over HTTPS, but requested an insecure image 'http://gravatar.com/avatar/b87daeb6292d165f7bd8db0dbb2e0a8b?s=400&d=identicon'. This content should also be served over HTTPS.
Is there any way to resolve this pls?
This does not happen with my blog. Check out the attached image for more information.
Yes, I faced this error two month back but I resolved it using cloudflare. I made the following two changes to load all the resources including image on https.
In Crypto Page of Cloudflare, changed the setting to always HTTPS and Automatic Redirect.
Made similar change in Cloudflare plugin active in WordPress.

Suppose I visit a web page www.example.com and is successfully loaded into my browser.
When this page is loaded, we can see the certificate information www.example.com by clicking on padlock icon (on left side of address).
The certificate includes the information like owner/organisation, connection status, certificate verified by, cookies set by the page and so on.
Is there any way to get this information programmatically from the browser like by using javascript/Ajax or any other language.
I found this link very helpful:

I have an e-commerce site with an SSL installed. I have made sure all links are https:// to avoid getting the browser error saying there are non secure items on the page.
However, I have a news and press feed in my footer which links to another websites which is not secure and do not have https:// available. Is there any way to fix this or are there any tricks to making this work?
Links to HTTP URLs should not cause browser errors about non-secure items on a page. Check your browser console (F12) to see what specific items are triggering the non-secure warnings.
Your page is loading three images from https://192.99.37.125/ which is the wrong url, as it does not match to the used certificate. That is causing the error.
I have a ruby on rails 3 app hosted on heroku with a custom domain. It uses oauth to allow the user to log in through Facebook. After a user logs in through Facebook, the next time they type in our domain in Firefox (tested on FF 15.0.1 on Mac) it automatically fills in https before the address (So the user is used to typing "example.com" into the address bar and pressing ENTER, but Firefox changes that to https://www.example.com). This of course shows the "This Connection is Untrusted" warning page (http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/connection-untrusted-error-message) since we do not have an SSL certificate instead of loading our page.
This only seems to happen with Firefox (tested on Chrome and Safari as well).
I've tried redirecting the rails action that we point to for root to the http protocol version using this example (http://captico.com/securing-specific-routes-in-rails-3/2011/02), but that didn't work. I've also tried adding the ssl_requirement gem (https://github.com/bartt/ssl_requirement) and excluding the action that we point to for the root domain, but then I just got a bad URI error.
We're in money saving mode right now as we test out the site and slowly grow in users. I believe the best thing to do is to pay the money for our own SSL cert, as well as the $20/month to heroku to get SSL for our custom domain. But for now, we'd like to avoid having these extra costs.
Is there a way to fix this for free?
To fix it for free, use the *.herokuapp.com domain instead of a custom domain.
