I have a website that my users visit that has problems when the HTTPS option is checked in the Profile for " Enable Fortiguard Web Filtering" . I' m not sure if I should blame Fortigaurd or the website. I' m using IE7.0 and the website refuses to work with Firefox or other browsers. I' ve tried one other mixed content website without a similar results. If anyone has another similar site to recommend for test purposes, please let me know. Also, could anyone let me know what the HTTPS option really does for me, since to my knowledge, URLs are always " in the clear" ? The manual doesn' t elaborate.
Here is how it should behave. When they visit webcontrol.avv.com, they are directed to the HTTPS login page. Once they login, the address line loses HTTPS, now HTTP, but certain elements of the page have HTTPS content. FYI, all the content seem to be on avv.com, not from other URLs.
With HTTPS option checked, the intial login comes up, but once they login, the browser returns an " Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage" error. Without closing the browser, if they reenter webcontrol.avv.com in the address line and click refresh, they get they page they should have gotten. However, while navigating in the website, any attempt to access information containing HTTPS content results in the affect frames displaying the same " cannot dislpay webpage" error. The only way to return to normal is to refresh the page. If I uncheck the HTTPS option, I am immediately able to navigate the site with no problems.
Any suggestions?
Thanks, Dave
