Security Warning

Is there a way to stop the Explorer from giving this message:

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

This webpage contains content ...

This happens SOMETIMES at https: sites. I happen to be at the Dunkin'
Donuts website and it's doing this.

Hi John,

Ensure you have the default (recommended) security zone settings.

Tools>Internet Options - Security tab, click "Reset all zones to default".

Now DunkinDonuts is using content from their https portal and also from
akamai.net so

Add the following to your Trusted sites list
*.dunkinDonuts.com
*.akamai.net (optional - this is an ad site although you may have to add it
to stop the warning message)

Whoever programmed their site is an idiot.

Regards.

You see that prompt because the page author claiming to offer a secure page
is lying to you. Some of the content is via SSL while some of it is not.
If anything in a web page is not secure then the entire web page is not
secure. It is or isn't secure, not somewhere in between.

The problem is the owner/author of the web page probably is spewing out ads
or other 3rd party content that they are not delivering through their own
server so it isn't in the SSL protected data streamed to your host. It is
called "mixed content". So go into the security zone in which you are
rendering the web page (probably the Internet security zone) and decide how
you want to handle mixed content.

Internet Options -> Security tab -> pick a security zone -> Custom level
Miscellaneous section
Display mixed content

If you want to let the page owner pretend they have a secure page but they
actually have unprotected content, you can disable the prompting by
selecting Enable (instead of Prompt). Personally I don't let anyone lie to
me about their web page being secure so I set this to Disable. I don't get
prompted and I don't get the insecure content.
