Hi

I have question about https

I am using mozila to access gmail as https://mail.google.com/mail

Why mozilla prompts me the alert box?

"You have requested an encrypted page that contains some unencrypted information. Information that you see or enter on this page could easily be read by a third party."

How mozilla knows I have data not encrypted?

ls https secured?

Yes, the 's' at the end means it uses SSL to provide a secure connection. If you have elements on the page that have an http: prefix, then mozilla and other browsers will complain about it.

I use Mozilla Firefox v.3.0.16 (32 bit) on CentOS 5.4 I am *not* getting warnings like that, with Gmail or with the URL you posted above. Which version of Mozilla (Firefox?) are you using?

I have seen warnings like that, but not with Gmail. That means that some of the information on the web page you are accessing is not encrypted.

ls https secured?

Yes, it is encrypted, but sometimes not all of the information on a web page is encrypted.
