I have a test web page in Azure cloud where I have login page in https. My problem is that if I get to the login page via redirect, neither the CSS or images get loaded in WP7 default browser - IE. Certificate is a self signed one - so I get the warning from browser before getting to the actual page.
The strange thing is that if I just click on refresh button after the initial loading - CSS and images gets loaded OK. Also, if I go to the https login page directly without going through redirect - everything works OK again.
Server side is done with MVC3 and https redirect is done by adding [RequireHttps] attribute before the controller.
Fiddler logs do not show anything that would help me. In the redirect case I can see that after the html page has been loaded there is handshaking for getting the https tunnel up, but no requests for css or images. When I click refresh, Fiddler log seems to start the same way, but this time also CSS and image is loaded.
I have done quite a bit googling on this and none of the answers that I have found seem to help. CSS and image are loaded with relative links, so that should not be the issue. Directory access rights should be OK as well, because it works without redirect. It also works OK in Desktop IE and other mobile browsers that I have tried on.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

For some reason DNN generates url for src of iframe inside every modal for editing module or module settings with different protocol on localhost and prod. On localhost when page is opened via https, iframe also has https url. At the same time on prod when page is opened via https, DNN generates http url there for some reason. As result I'm getting this error in dev tools console:
Mixed Content: The page at "" was loaded over HTTPS, but requested an
insecure frame. This request has been blocked; the content must be
served over HTTPS.
Found this solution.
Disabling modals would be really stupid solution as I need editing and settings for DNN modules. So I used workaround with meta tag added to a website via PersonaBar.
That fix actually works, but firstly, it's not the most convenient solution. Secondly, it's a crutch. If localhost can generate https link, then it means that prod also can. But why it doesn't? It's a code that is generated by DNN, not by my code. So as result I don't understand right now what's going on about it and why.
P.S. Just in case to clearify what I'm talking about:
login as superuser to your website
click pencil button to edit page
hover over any DNN module
click pencil icon "Edit module" or gear icon "Settings" (doesn't matter)
that's the modal window with iframe I'm talking about
P.S. I've asked this question at DNN forum yesterday already, but didn't recieve any answers there, so I'm duplicating it here.
DNN's SSL implementation requires a number of things to be in alignment, however, the following should be correct.
Within the security section SSL needs to be enabled, AND enforced, and the page that you are on also has to have the "Secure" flag set.
This is working for us in all production environments, so you so you should be fine.
(If using SSL Offloading, its a bit more tricky)
My website was working perfect since it was running on http. After migrating it to https , some of the css is not reflecting properly. I've checked many things like 304 error , done versioning of css files , transferred all requests to https instead of http. This is the link :- https://stratgist.com. Please check tell me the solution to this
Site is working fine to me, Just some js and css files are not loading and console showing it.
It might have cache of your browser. Open browser and do ctrl+f5 or else open site in Incognito mode/private window of your browser.
In IIS7 I right click on the site and choose "Switch to content view" then add a text file called test.txt right click again and switch to features view. Double click the http redirect icon and see it's not forwarding.
Right click the site and switch to content view again now right click on test.txt and choose browse only to be forwarded to some other site that gives me 404 for not having /test.txt.
I don't know where to look anymore as the settings mentioned above would indicate there would be no forwarding but opening the file proves that it does.
When using forcecors plugin for firefox and making a ajax request to the text file I can see the response header: Location http://some_other_site/test.txt.
Hope it's something simple.
[update]
In the application I checked out the settings under "Url rewrite" and found a rule that redirects. Removed this rule and stopped started IIS but it's still forwarding. Could not find anything under System32\inetsvr\config that would indicate redirecting.
After removing the url rewrite rule and testing in the browser it kept on forwarding because I think my browser remembered it was moved. Cache settings on IIS should check if file has changed after it was last cached (I think last modified headers) but somehow a redirect works differently. Did not clear my browser cache and even doing that could still cause a problem with proxies caching it.
What I did was opening it this way:
http://develop.mysite.com/test.txt?refresh=newValue
Like magic I wasn't redirected and it works now. Start FF with another profile and see if that solves the problem as the new profile should not be aware of the sites response being "permanently moved" by a previous request.
I am encountering a strange issue which is only affecting several users from an over 7000 user-base. Having searched the web for several hours to no avail, I'm hoping someone here can help!
I have an ASP.NET 2.0 website and when certain users try to access the home page (Default.aspx) they receive a white screen with no content loaded. This issue is occurring both in production environment and if I run the solution against a copy of production data. So I am able to replicate the exact same issue when I pseudo the problematic users.
When debugging the application in VS2005 and set a breakpoint in the code behind in the Default.aspx, the breakpoints are fired/hit so I know the request is working. The problem seems to be once the server has finished serving the request, the response back to the client/browser is empty.
Here's another strange thing I've noticed. If I alter the HTML in Default.aspx by adding a new white line or whitespace, the page will load fine for the same set of users. I thought I had resolved the issue with this fix but unfortunately the white screen issue just manifests itself once again.
Within Default.aspx, there's some AJAX requests using jQuery .load function but this can't be the issue because this functionality exists for every user of the site. The only variable is the amount of content returned within this request can vary depending on the user. But why would it resolve itself when I put a whitespace or whiteline in the page and then manifest itself hours later?
Another thing to note is it's only Default.aspx that is encountering this issue. If I browse to another page by typing in a page in the address bar, the page is served OK.
Hope someone can point me in the right direction on how I can debug or even resolve the issue.
It sounds like your ajax is the cause but without seeing some code, it's difficult to know why.
It could be a timeout, or an error that is preventing the ajax from completing it's function.
You need to use a tool like Charles or Fiddler to debug what is happening whilst the page loads whilst logged in as these users. In a nutshell, a tool like Charles will display all the detail surrounding requests made and responses served to the browser, including any failed responses.
I think it has to do with http headers, caching or encoding. But I cannot tell more without code.
Is output caching enabled for this page?
Can you give us the raw http headers for both the request and response?
If a white screen appears, will it be fixed by pressing ctrl+f5?
I've had a drupal 5 site for over 2 years. For some reason my browser dropdown URL retains www.xxx.co.uk/node?destination=node for the site url. This has work until now - when I get
The page isn't redirecting properly
Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.
* This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept
cookies.
typing in the bare url www.xxx.co.uk gives the same results. I'd just modified the site to add another picture gallery. I can access the site by typing in www.xxx.co.uk/node/1 but if I logout I'm back to the above problem, I assume for the same destination=node problem.
Didn't change any modules that I recall. Any ideas?
OK, I can answer this myself after a bit of investigation. I used import images to load my pics. What I failed to notice was that the nodes created by the import were all set to promoted to front page. Remove this from all the image nodes and everything is back to normal. No idea why my browser dropdown retains the url as above.
