HTTPS enabled for everyone at Neowin


Recommended Posts

On the news side of things, if you try to access the site at https://www.neowin.net you will be redirected to https://www.neowin.net 

 

The forums aren't forced to HTTPS yet (although anyone can access the forums this way), but it's on the list of things to do. This does not affect logging in via the forums , which is over HTTPS.

 

Due to the age of the site and various news articles and forum posts containing embedded non-secure content (over HTTP), people may notice mixed content warning messages, but this is also being looked into.

Nice... I've seen so many Changes at Neowin over the Years....
Must say things are looking Great! :)
Keep up the good work... Everyone... even the People who post Stuff... :) 
Its this Community that makes Neowin Great

It's about time! :D

You could load it via https previously, but now if you hit the news side of things on http, it will automatically redirect you to https. We'll be doing the same for the forums once we figure out what to do about all the embedded images in posts that use http rather than https to avoid users getting mixed-content warnings on every page

Neowin is getting better with age. :p

Keep up the good work and well done!

 

Interesting bug .. I can't seem to use the like button in the Real World forum. Seems to be some kind of script issue from "unauthenticated sources" .. probably related to https?

Definitely. I guess they thought https could be enforced without correcting their hard-coded links :laugh:

 

 

Mixed Content: The page at 'https://www.neowin.net/forum/discover/unread/' was loaded over a secure connection, but contains a form which targets an insecure endpoint 'https://www.neowin.net/forum/search/'. This endpoint should be made available over a secure connection.

 

I am sure there are plenty more of these causing all sorts of interesting issues.

 

THis is a good first step but this forum is not properly using https yet, not really.

Not really, you'll note the thread is about the fact https is enforced on the front page, not the forums, for exactly this reason. See my previous post for further clarification of this - exactly because the forums haven't been checked for full compatibility yet.

@DaveLegg Looks like the plugin is being used, groovy!

 

On the main forum index, however, it looks like there's one mixed content warning for...

There's likely others - if I encounter any I'll post them! :)

Yeah, installed a couple of days ago, looks like it's doing the job, thanks a lot for the recommendation!

 

I've fixed the vet star issue, let us know if you spot any others.

Using Extension - moarTLS Analyzer on Chrome

 

I found following two links on Main Page:

 

 

Links don't matter so much, as the browser won't automatically load them into the page like it would with images, so they won't cause a mixed-content warning.

I'm still getting the mixed content warning for the vet star on the Forum Index

Should be fixed now, I forgot to clear the caches on the server

No I'm still getting it on Forum Index.

 

it seems to be the vetstar in the "who's online" section near the bottom of the page causing it

    • This AMD RX 9070 16GB GPU that performs close to Nvidia 5070 is under $600 by Sayan Sen With the memory shortage that's prevalent nowadays, discounts are super-hard to get. As such we post good deals whenever they pop up. Recently, we covered a few great discounts on SSDs wherein you can get a 4TB TeamGroup NVMe PCIe Gen4 drive for just $400 thanks to a special coupon. If you want a faster product but don't need all that capacity, you can also opt for Samsung's 990 PRO 2TB that is on sale for its lowest price in over three months. Let's say though that you are on the hunt for a 1440p gaming card. In that case AMD's RX 9070 non-XT can help, and with its 16GB VRAM, you can also run AI models locally without worrying about bottlenecking (check out our recent 9070 GRE reviews for gaming and productivity to get an idea). The PowerColor Reaper variant of the RX 9070 is currently on sale for just $580 which is a very good price in the current state of affairs (purchase link under the specs table down below). The Reaper cooler on this 9070 uses a triple‑fan design with ring‑blade fans, paired with premium dual ball bearings to extend lifespan and reduce friction. "Intelligent" fan control allows the fans to remain idle at lower temperatures, only spinning up when the GPU is under load. A nickel‑plated copper base makes direct contact with both the GPU and memory modules, helping to spread heat evenly. PowerColor also applies Honeywell PTM7950 phase‑change thermal interface material (TIM), which fills microscopic gaps between the die and heatsink for more efficient thermal transfer. The fan shroud is shorter in height as the firm has made it such that it can be used in certain SFF (small form factor) cases. The technical specifications of the Reaper RX 9070 are given in the table below: Specification Value Stream Processors 3584 Units Video Memory 16GB GDDR6 Memory Speed 20.0 Gbps Memory Interface 256-bit Engine Clock Game Clock: up to 2070 MHz Boost Clock: up to 2520 MHz Bus Standard PCI Express 5.0 x16 Display Connectors 1 x HDMI 2.1b, 3 x DisplayPort 2.1a Maximum Resolution DisplayPort: 7680 × 4320 HDMI: 7680 × 4320 Board Dimensions 289mm × 111mm × 41mm 304mm × 127mm × 42mm (with bracket) Slot 2 Minimum System Power Requirement 600W Power Connectors Two 8-pin PCI Express Get the PowerColor Reaper RX 9070 at the links below (you get only a 90-day warranty on Woot): PowerColor Reaper Radeon RX 9070 16GB Graphics Card (RX9070 16G-A): $579.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) (Was: $700) PowerColor Reaper Radeon RX 9070 16GB Graphics Card (RX9070 16G-A): $559.99 (Sold and Shipped by Woot US) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • Are they marketed as an entry into astronomy or astrophotography? I do astrophotography. With big rigs, lots of computers, cables and headaches. I love it. And by learning this ridiculously complex hobby, I’ve learned about the objects I’m shooting. Astronomy followed from photography.
    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows by Usama Jawad A couple of days ago, we reported that the latest Patch Tuesday update has seemingly resulted in a lot of issues for many users, including OneDrive and Dropbox access problems, BitLocker recovery lockouts, and BSODs. Although Microsoft is yet to acknowledge these bugs, it has confirmed another, relatively smaller issue across all supported versions of Windows. In an update on its Windows Release Health Dashboard, Microsoft has confirmed that after installing June's Patch Tuesday update (KB5094126), you'll experience unexpected behavior when leveraging Recycle Bin. Basically, when you attempt to delete an item from the Recycle Bin, the confirm dialog will show you the internal file name of that content rather than the actual name. For example, the file may be named abc.png, but the confirm dialog will ask if you're sure that you want to permanently delete $Rxxxxx.png from the Recycle Bin. This is pretty much it for the scope of the bug itself; it just displays the wrong name in the confirm dialog. The correct name will be shown in the list view of the Recycle Bin and if you restore the file, it will return with the correct name as well. This issue affects pretty much all supported versions of Windows client and server, including: Client: Windows 11, version 26H1; Windows 11, version 25H2; Windows 11, version 24H2; Windows 11, version 23H2; Windows 10, version 22H2; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB 2016 Server: Windows Server 2025; Windows Server 2022; Windows Server 2019; Windows Server 2016; Windows Server 2012 R2; Windows Server 2012 As things currently stand, Microsoft is working on a concrete solution that will be released in a "future" Windows update. It remains to be seen if the firm will wait till the next Patch Tuesday or roll out an out-of-band (OOB) fix. The good news is that commercial customers can deploy a workaround right now, but they will have to reach out to Microsoft Support for Business for additional details.
    • They said by this time everyone will have flying cars. WELL...
    • A study by physicist Henry Tye of Cornell University suggests that the universe may not expand forever. Instead, it could eventually stop expanding, begin contracting and end in a "Big Crunch" roughly 20 billion years from now. Maybe not as we now know that time can flow backwards.
