Re: encrypted page contains

Try returning an HTML page that is just a blank page with a redirect tag in the head.

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;URL=http://www.ccc.com">

This should do a near instantaneous refresh without the browser complaining.

Sorry. I was lying. It would appear that any redirect, regardless of how it is achieved, will cause the browser to complain if the redirection is from an HTTPS site to an HTTP site. The text of the complaint will vary according to browser and in this case sounds misleading. The browser is basically pointing out that an automatic transition between a secured and normal site could be risky. The same sort of thing happens wheb you try and submit form data to an HTTP host from and HTTPS page. I think that you are going to have to just live with this one! inman	[reply]
