Issue/Request:
I’m receiving complaints that if a user is trying to download an attached form on our site, they get a security block stating the connection is unsecure. I tried it and received the same block in IE and Chrome.
I’ve attached a screen grab of the IE warning and Chrome warning.
Test it by trying to download any form linked here: http://divinity.yale.edu/directory/offices/office-academic-affairs/students
Hello Campbell,
Is it just the file download or the whole site?

In my testing, it’s happening when I click the links to download a file that is stored on our site. The links on this page are to downloadable files and right now they’re getting blocked by my Firefox and my Chrome on Windows 10: http://divinity.yale.edu/directory/offices/office-academic-affairs/students
Oddly, I’m not getting blocked when I click on forms on this page: http://divinity.yale.edu/directory/offices/registrars-office/downloadable-forms
Hello Campbell,
I found that the links are set to “other” in the protocol. You should set them to http in the link configuration.

Ugh, ok I’ll do that.
Is there any way I can do a site search to turn up all links set to “other”?
Unfortunately we don’t have a way to search on that particular setting or link configuration.
