Hello,

I am using IE8 browser on WindowsXp. Til last fortnight I was able to see Images in my gmail. But all of a sudden, when I try to open any email containing images, I get security warning from Microsoft firewall that webpage contains content not through HTTPS secure connection.

I want to know what setting has got changed. Is it due to some update from Microsoft or Gmail has made certain changes. I have tried to solve the problem by changing security settings from internet options to default. Adding Google & gmail as trusted sites. But problem is not solved.

Gmail setting for always display images is ineffective. It seems that Images are filtered at the server before email is downloaded in my Laptop.

I have not tried in Firefox.

I am from India.

Configuration: Windows XP Internet Explorer 8.0

Dear PK,

This problem can be fixed by deactivating your firewall. You will once more get to see the images

in the mail.

Thank you.

Dear ivel,

I am not stisfied with your reply. Turning off the firewall is subjected to security risk for untrusted sites. I have seen another article which seems to be a better solution. Give your opinion on that.

Text of article is given below however I am not able to paste the images. ( The article is available on mydigitalfiles.com )

Disable Display Only Webpage Content Delivered Securely Security Warning In IE
When surfing the Internet and browsing web pages with Internet Explorer (IE) web browser such as IE8, the browser will pop up dialog box to prompt a security warning as below:

Do you want to view only the webpage content that was delivered securely?

This webpage contains content that will not delivered using a secure HTTPS connection, which could compromise the security of the entire webpage.

User is giving three buttons or options to choose – “More Info” to open a help window explaining what’s the secure connections and mixed content, “Yes” which blocks off non-secure (HTTP) content on the web page, and “No” which displays mixed content or elements delivered through both secure (HTTPS/SSL) and non-secure (HTTP) web server connections.

Mixed content situation can happen on HTTPS secure websites such as online stores or financial sites that display images, banners, or scripts that are coming from a server that is not secured. IE has defaulted to prompt user for next course of action when encounter mixed content as displaying mixed content carries risk that non-secure web page or script will be able to access information from the secure content.

Having to click “No” (or “Yes” to block non-secure content) button for every visit to website with mixed content can be troublesome and annoying. Besides, it’s possible user accidentally click “Yes”, which prevents some insecure elements from loading and displaying. For user who confident that he or she does not visit possibly malicious site, it’s possible to instruct IE to display mixed content automatically, instead of asking for input.

How to Disable and Turn Off Do You Want To View Only the Webpage Content that Was Delivered Securely Security Warning

•Launch Internet Explorer.
•Click on Tools -> Internet Options.
•Go to Security tab.
•Select Internet zone (default selection).
•Click on Custom level… button under “Security level for this zone” section.
•Under “Miscellaneous” branch, for Display mixed content parameter, select the radio button of Enabled.


Tip: Select “Disabled” to always stop loading on unsecured components in secure web page.

•Click OK when done, and click Yes when prompted are you sure you want to change the settings for this zone.
