View Full Version : Security prompt bug


February 8th, 2006, 09:38 PM
I am testing the Address Book Access Widget on development with only the http:// protocol.

Whenever I am done selecting the contacts I want to add, I click "Next", and I get the following security warning: "This page contains both secure and not secure items. Do you want to display the non-secure items?"

If I click "No", then the "Next" button continues to blink "Please wait" and nothing happens. (I eventually shut the window myself.)

If I click "Yes", then the contacts I selected are properly brought into my test web page.

My question is, is it possible not to have the security warning come up? I think it it's confusing for users.

I am running this on http.

Hello Jack,

Thanks for checking out the widget!

You're right, the security warning can be confusing to users.

The problem comes because your callback page is running http and the our page is https. Clicking 'no' cancels the callback to your page. It's a known issue, and we're working on a fix.

In the meantime, you could put your page in SSL, but we've found most users just click through the security warning.

Living with it is not ideal, but we hope to have a fix in the next release.

Best,

Kathy
