With no "lock" or "HTTPS" showing up, how do I know in Safari if an online store is actually using a secure link when their web page makes that claim?

The link in your example - https://www.gmx.com/ - is loading non- secure content from http://themes.googleusercontent.com/
The lock will display only if everything on the page is secure - in this case it's not.
As Safari has no way of knowing if theme.googleusercontent.com is going to be transmitting or receiving content that should be encrypted, then the overall page is in no way secure, and as such Safari won't display the lock icon.
This is correct behaviour - it would be dangerous to users to identify pages as secure when they're clearly not.
Reloading the page above uses cached copies of the fonts, thus no insecure connection is required on the reload. The issue in the link above (GMX) is not a Safari issue, just really bad web development by whomever built the site and mixed secure and insecure content.

    Hi again Raja!
    I did as you recommended and installed HTTPWatch and below is the outcome of that program. It is the exact string with the only exception of obfuscated servernames and portnumbers. The last part that begins with "sap_ep_baseurl=" makes me suspicious, is that part really correct? It looks like it's lacking things.
    Best regards

  • How do I save a web page so that someone else can open it?

    Sometimes I want to save web pages as archives for future reference. I thought printing as a PDF would be the most widely readable format, but items on the page are often lost and I end up with question marks.
    I have just tried "Save As" to a web archive, and that works well in Safari (meaning that Safari can reopen it perfectly), but when I emailed the file to a PC user they couldn't open it. I assumed a web archive format would be readable by any web browser; obviously that's not the case.
    How do I archive a web page so that it is universally readable without losing any content?

    A web-link won't work because the particular page I want to send requires a subscription. The story about this particular page I want to send: four of us are planning a 7-day hiking trip through some Tasmanian wilderness, and we don't go unless the weather forecast is fine. I am subscribed to a weather website, but when I send this link:
    http://www.weatherzone.com.au/models/meteogram.jsp?lt=twcid&lc=9350
    they don't get the meteograms (graphs of various weather aspects out to 10 days).
    So, I want to save the particular page and send it off. In general, though, I simply want to archive certain pages.
    In my limited testing it looks like:
    • Safari can't save a web page accurately;
    • Firefox can, but it generates a separate folder of files ( I would have to combine the two, then zip them, then email);
    • iCab may be able to, but I haven't tested it yet.
    I didn't think saving a web page, incorporated into a single file, would be so complicated.

    1: here's (probably) the why : http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12169422&#12169422
    2: That's tough, if you're lucky someone wrote a handy Safari extension to modify print styles - otherwise it'd be tricky.

  • HT2506 In pages how can I link text within the document? I can find a bookmark option and links only allows me to link to a web page

    Hi all,
    This is my first time using this discussion site! Any help would be great, as I am getting very frustrated with pages!
    What I am trying to do is link text at the bottom of a document to a page at the beginning of the document. I can't find a bookmark option adn when I clink insert link it only provides an options to link to a web page. Help! thanks

    Bookmarks are missing (sadly) and with them, the ability to create an in document link.
    I was looking for this feature in a Table of Contents. When you assign a 'style' to text in a document, you can Insert > Table of Contents. Then Pages will keep the TOC updated and you'll be able to 'link' from the page number in the TOC. (Not much help though, for the OP)

  • Anyone know how come the iPad 2 from Apple HK Online Store still unavailable?

    Anyone know how come the iPad 2 from Apple HK Online Store still unavailable?
    Did Apple offer engrave service purchase from other retail store outside?

    As we are just fellow users, I don't think anybody here will know why they are unavailable (except for demand possibly being higher than supply). In terms of Apple engraving I think you can only get that direct from Apple - whether other stores offer their own engraving service I don't know.

  • My address bar has https with a lock on it.... don't know what I did? to put this on...need help

    I was changing things on my computer and I am not a real wiz at this stuff.  My safari when I open it now shows https with a lock on it.  I need help on removing this and also my google is missing from the address bar.  Anyone know what I have done?

    Safari 6
    URL address bar and Google search bar are combined into one bar now.
    Apple calls it Smart Search Field.
    There is no more a separate Google search bar.
    https with lock icon means that information entered in the bar is encrypted for the purpose of security.

  • HT3702 Hi there, can somebody help me in showing me how to reset my credit card information on iTunes Store as I have the credit card and it seems like the system doesn't accept my new card.

    Good day, can someone show how to update a new credit card on iTunes Store as I have changed my credit card. It seems like the system doesn't accept the new infos but when investigated with apple store staff members, they said I had a previous purchase to complete for the payment in order to update my new infos. Does Apple have authorization credit card form? So that I can authorize them to finalize the previous purchase payment with a new card.

  • How does the browser "show-the-user" when a web page is SECURE?

    Whenever I use Firefox I end up filling out a secure form.
    ...however...
    The browser never SHOWS ME that the page IS SECURE.
    All other browsers I have ever used, IE, Opera, Netscape all show the user when they are viewing a secured web page. I need to see that the connection is secure before sending sensitive info.
    anyone?

    The area to the left of the address (green, blue, or plain) shows the type of security offered by the site. More info:
    [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Site%20Identity%20Button Site Identity Button | How to | Firefox Help]
    For example, this site has a blue identity area (SSL encryption but not identity verification).
    There is an add-on you can use if you prefer seeing a lock:

  • How can I get a document from apple online store with IMEI number on it?

    Hi
    I got my iPhone stolen, and currently have insurance requesting a document with IMEI number on it, I called apple and they say this doesn't exist?
    I tried to explain to insurance, but they won't listen. I have sent in packing list, shipping notification, and scan of sticker on box with IMEI and serial number.
    2nd email
    Thank you for your email. We require a document with the full IMEI number on it. Once this is received we will be able to continue processing the claim.
    Kind regards
    1st email
    thank you for sending us your documents, unfortunately the proof of purchase you have sent in does not show the serial number or the imei number, so i cannot match it to the side of the box label to use the two together for a proof of ownership .To enable us to continue with the processing of your claim, we require a valid proof of purchase for the mobile phone you are claiming for.
    This must confirm the make, model and IMEI (International Manufacturers Electronic Identity) number of your phone and can be either a letter from your airtime provider on their letter-headed paper, a copy of the original receipt or despatch note that was provided to you when your phone was purchased. (this is not a air time bill)
    Thanks a lot,

    I bought from Apple online store, and IMEI only appears on sticker on the box which I've peeled off , scanned and emailed. Called apple and they said document doesn't exist with IMEI number on it. I've saw on another post someone managed to get apple to send them receipt with all the info within 3 days so I'll call back tomorrow, just the guy I spoke today didn't think it was possible.
    Thanks
