I am developing my first Windows Phone 8 Application. I have requirement to load facebook login page in WebBrowser control. I am facing an interesting issue now, When I test the app in my device. Links with https is not loading, it loads a page saying "We're having trouble with this sites security certificate" etc.
Does anybody face similar issue ? Do I need to make any settings in my application in-order to access https sites ?
Thanks in advance,

I found an answer from Ben and it useful for u to solve the problem
trusted companies issue secure IDs to websites
There's a couple possiblities here:
1) If you get the same error acessing the site on other devices (make sure the URL says https, not http), it means it's the sites problem. Your phone is warning you that it doesn't trust them- for all you know, you're not actually connecting to the site at all.
2) If you don't get the same error on other devices, it means that your phone somehow lost its list of trusted ID issuers. There is a way to add certificates back, but it's probably easier at this point just to wipe the phone and restore it to factory settings.

My friend and I recently launched a website, everything worked fine until using cloudflare to gain an SSL Certificate. Now when I load the website, it loads an empty website, as opposed to the correct contents. When I access the website through the direct IP address, it loads correctly. When I use a VPN I can often get the website to work for me, but I cannot fix this problem for the life of me. Is this something anybody knows the fix to?

I tried restarting my router, singing to it, disconnecting and reconnecting, using different devices, and using mobile data on my phone, but they all result in the same outcome.
My Magento 1.9 webshop is marked as unsafe (phishing which is not true) in Microsoft Edge, if switch to IE and run Smart Screen security check it says all safe.
And strangely only on one of my computers and therefore didn't bother much but also a customer complained about it today.
Anyone experienced this before and have a solution? Is there a way to check why a site is marked as unsafe by smartscreen?
Based on my searching results, Below information may helpful to you.
Q. If I am a website owner, how do I correct a warning on my legitimate site?
A. You can immediately submit a request for a correction. Windows Defender SmartScreen has a built-in, web-based feedback system in place to help customers and website owners report any potential false warnings as quickly as possible. In Windows Internet Explorer, from a red warning, click More information then Report that this site contains no threats. This will take you to a feedback page where you can indicate you are a site owner or representative. Follow the instructions and provide the information on this site to submit a site for review...

Q.
If I am a website owner, what can I do to help minimize the chance of my website being flagged by Windows Defender SmartScreen?
A.
There are several things you can do that can help minimize the chance of your site being flagged as suspicious. Think of these as best practices or optimal website design ethics.
If you ask users for personal information, use HTTPS with a valid, unexpired server certificate issued by a trusted certification authority.
Make sure that your webpage doesn't expose any cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities. Protect your site by using anti-cross-site scripting functions such as those provided by the Microsoft Anti-Cross Site Scripting library.
Use the fully-qualified domain name rather than an IP-literal address. (This means a URL should look like "microsoft.com" and not "207.46.19.30.")
Don't encode or tunnel your URLs unnecessarily. If you don't know what this means, you probably aren't doing it.
If you post external or third-party hosted content, make sure that the content is secure and from a known and trusted source.

In MS Edge browser there's an option to "report file as safe". After clicking it - select the "I'm a website owner" option and fill the false-positive form.
My website only works on my laptop and phone! On my ipad, (it is a school ipad, managed by the district) the website doesn't update. I have cleared the cache. I need to present this next monday (my classmates will also be using their school ipads) and it was working fine earlier. PLEASE HELP

EDIT: The website was updating fine before today
Replying to the comments:
Yes, i tried incognito mode but it made no difference.
Yes, what you see is right but on my school ipad i think that it my school is blocking my server or something. Is that possible?
Since we have already determined that your web site has been updated correctly and the files are OK on the server, it's been narrowed down to possibly your school ipad blocking your server. You can try accessing it through a web based proxy for a quick test. Try this service:
https://www.hidemyass.com/proxy
Something else you can try is to upload your web page to another server. Since it's just one page, you don't need anything special. In fact, you could save the file on any free hosting service. Here is an example I created on HTML Pasta:
https://33d08f2c-9365-4692-bc3c-3ed68c454c41.htmlpasta.com
You can create your own at https://htmlpasta.com
EDIT: P.S. Your school ipad is probably not blocking anything but has some kind of cache that you have not cleared. Since you mentioned that you cleared the browser cache already, it may be routing your network through a school proxy or something which is caching the old site on the network level (or some other type of cache)
I'm creating a simple app that a user will download onto his/her computer and then open it with a browser off the harddrive. I need it to be able to store data, using any of the standard browsers. (Although data does not have to be accessible between browsers).
As described by this link, If using HTML5's localstorage, Internet Explorer throws an error if the url of the site is something like file:///C:/Web/mylocaltodo.html. It says it can be gotten round by using 'localhost', but the sample application it provides doesn't how how this would be done.
Is it possible to save data locally for an offline site without the user installing a web server on localhost? And have it work on any modern browser, including Internet Explorer?
Thanks
Although the question is still old, I was facing a similiar problem when creating an application that should synchronize between multiple windows.
So I'd just like to share my experiences with other developers, that may avoid a long search for the problem.
In fact, due to the same origin policy (as for local file access via XMLHttpRequest), access is denied for reading the localStorage, so that changes won't get synchronized between windows.
In short: If you're using file:/// as URL, it won't be able to synchronize the localStorage. Using a simple webserver and http://localhost/ as URL, it will.
Strange behavior and sadly, there is no error message in the javascript console. Keep that in mind when trying out some localStorage experiments offline and don't get crazy searching for the issue in your code ;-)
Currently working on a site built in Django and i'm getting an issue when they try uploading a file on there PC. In IE it says 'HTTP error' and in Firefox it says 'IO error'. They are using IE 8 and the latest version of firefox with Windows media edition.
It's only on this PC they are getting the issues so i can't see how it would be a permissions thing. Just hoping someone can point me in the right direction.
Thanks,
Just checking you mean its a single computer just having the problem Quote"It's only on this PC they are getting the issues".
Compare the differences between this pc and the other pc that are successful.Your right it probably isn't a permissions problem on your serverside, but it may be a security problem with this pc in question.many things could cause such errors:
Are your successful computers have any differences from window browsers, eg:Mozilla, Chrome ect...Firewalls, User control settings on the computer?
Its hard to Conclude as companys put custom restrictions on their machines.
and the information you have provided doesnt explain depth.
Also check your error logs on your server through ftp, this may give you an indacation why this task is not successful for the pc in question, theres many factors to consider, have a look and let us Know how you go, also if you manage to solve this please leave an answer for others.
Does PC mean client or server? Are you sure the path you are uploading to exist on the server?
