Safari and Chrome issues. (wont open webpages without https

[makoto]

safari and chrome will no longer open webpages unless the webpage starts off with https://

Firefox still works fine. Im not sure what the problem is, ive tried various things like deleting cookies, looking for viruses. but i dunno. If anyone could help that would be awesome.

thanks.

Quick Google Search says Sophos may be the reason why. Do you happen to have it installed?

 

 

If not, I would then check out what settings you have under System Preferences > Network > Choose your current connection and click the Advanced button > Proxies and see if you have Secure Web Procy (HTTPS) checked under "Select a protocol to configure"

If that is not checked off, also check to see if there is anything listed under Bypass proxy server settings.

secure web proxy was not ticked but there was a bypass proxy *.local, 169.254/16

should i delete that?

I deleted it, everything works now. Thanks a lot, youre a life saver :)

Copy it into a text file, delete it and see what happens. If something happens you can always paste it back.

I do believe the *.local is normal, I have seen that before.

Currently I do not have any entries in mine. I can share that.

Nice I responded before you put that last sentence.

Glad I could help. (Y)
