There is a bug concerning SSL and ASP.Net 2.0 Menu Control

[Mantorok]

Hi all

It appears there is a bug - when using a 2 or more tier menu control in
asp.net in an SSL environment you get prompted with the:

"This page contains both secure and non-secure items blah blah"

a) has anyone else experienced?

b) if so do we know when to expect it to be fixed?

Thanks

Have you looked at the generated HTML to see if there is a mistake that
you made? I haven't used this control in an SSL environment yet so I'm
only speculating.


Good luck,

Yep I've checked, I've used relative paths in my links.

Do any of the links point to resources in non-SSL locations? If so, you will
get the message box by default when you access an SSL page which contains
links to non-SSL resources.

Yes there are links in the master page that link back to non-secure sites -
does that really make a difference? Sounds odd if it does.

There's your problem...

Yes.

Perfectly logical if you think about it...

Wait a minute - do you mean hyperlinks or just linking to non-secure stuff,
if you mean the latter then no, but the former - yes.

most likely you are referencing an image over http. the easiest way to find
the reference is to use firefox, and goto to the media tab on the pageinfo,
you will see the http reference.

Either; both; whatever - that's the way it is...

I don't think so - a hyperlink on a SSL site pointing to HTTP is not classed
as containing a non-secure item.

Firefox doesn't seem to give me this message, only IE...

Nope - all HTTPS - also, Firefox doesn't give me this shit - only IE
does....

Hi

Any references to non-SSL pages - including the code which is generated by
the Menu can cause the warning. I've noticed when I create a menu (I'm having
many other issues right now which I'm working through) that the page
generates LOTS of code and references a files in the head from the root
called /WebResource.axd?d=6txiuwerieurieuriu etc.

Also, any sytle sheet references would need considering too.

does this help?
