Portlets - Addressing Mixed Content - SAFARI
Issue *
Safari displays a lock icon at the top of the Safari window or in the address field when you are visiting a secure website.
Safari does not show a warning message for websites with mixed content. Instead, when Safari detects a secure website that contains insecure content, the lock icon is missing from the top of the Safari window in the address field.
You can view warning messages for the insecure content in the error console.
To View the Warning Message in the Error Console
1. Select the Develop menu, and then select Show Error Console
2. You can view the warnings using the default view (All) or you can select Warnings.
See the example warning below:

Ask Before Sending A Non-Secure Form From A Secure Website
Sometimes an otherwise secure website may fail to provide a secure way to submit a form, such as one containing your password or credit card number. Safari displays a message when this is about to happen, so you can cancel.
To enable/disable this message:
1. Select Settings > Preferences
2. Select the Security Tab, and then either select or unselect Ask before sending a non-secure form to a secure website
