Just applied a bunch of MS updates to my XP box.
Besides hosing all my saved password cookies (?) the update seems
to have introduced this maddening prompt into IE 8:
"Security Warning Do you want to view only the web page content
that was delivered securely? This webpage contains content that
will not be delivered using a secure HTTPS connection, which
could compromise the security of the entire webpage?"
I don't even know whether to answer "Yes" or "No"... so I've been
clicking "Yes".
Ok.... so I did a Tools | Internet Options | Security | Custom
Level | Miscellaneous | Display Mixed Content = Enable
Presumably that "fixed" the "problem".
But I have no clue otherwise.
Can anybody tell me what I've done? i.e. What are the security
implications?
