Feature request: mixed content (HTTPS) warnings

Open Flimm opened this issue 9 years ago • 2 comments

If your site is using HTTPS, if it embeds images with a non-HTTPS protocol, the browser will display a warning in the URL bar. If it embeds scripts or iframe with a non-HTTPS protocol, the browser will refuse to load that content altogether.

It would be awesome if this tool would detect and report an issue like that.

Didn't Chrome remove these warnings?

Not really, try it for yourself:

https://mixed-script.badssl.com/ (this one gives no user-visible errors on Chrome, but it blocks the script) https://mixed.badssl.com/ (this one gives no user-visible errors on Chrome, but it does log a warning. On Firefox, the icon in the address bar changes)

https://badssl.com/ is a useful site for testing these sorts of things.
