I have an iMac G5. You know how you can put s after http on pc's and it will bypass any security I tryed to do that on my Mac and know on some websites https will appear and on some websites it won't when https appears a message will appear saying that safari can't open page because it can't establish a secure connection how can I make it so https will stop appearing.
iPad 2, iOS 5.1.1
"https" just means the web site is using a secure communications protocol. It's not a way to "bypass" security. You can't stop a web site from using a secure protocol, because they are doing that for a security reason (so it's not optional).
If it doesn't work with Safari for some reason, you might try downloading FireFox and using it to see if it's any different.
I know what I'm saying is that I PUT s after http and know if I go to netflix for example it wont let me go to the sign in menu because it says that it can't connect to the server but if I go to any other website it will let me go onto the site unless I need to log into it then the message will appear that safari cany connect to the server. So really I can go on any site but if the sit has a log in screen and I try to go to that it won't let me. So do you know how to fix that so that s won't appear on a log in screen etc.
When I put the s after the http it was when I was trying to log into netflix on my computer. The reason I did that is because on the computers at my school if you put s after http it will let you play a game or go on a site like Facebook or netflix that you went usually allowed to play or go on. The reason I put the s is because I have restrictions on my computer and they were making it so I couldnt go to the netflix home screen. I have an account on Netflix so I wasn't trying to get pass the log in screen. But know any site that has a log in screen it wont connect to.
I'm not sure what you are describing, but it's not up to you (the user) to put an "s" after http or not. The web page is using a secure protocol, or it isn't. For example, this Apple web page you are on right now uses "https" because logging in requires security. But the main Apple.com web page does not, because no security is needed to view general product information.
how can I make it so https will stop appearing.
If a web page is requiring a secure protocol, you (the user) can't make it not use it.
I know that. You may not be able to decide if the web page uses http or https but you can type it into the address bar and it will change the search instead of you going to the Netflix home page you get a sorry cannot connect to server. If you type Netflix into the google search click on the link and after it loads go to the bar with the Netflix web address and put an s after http and press the refresh button you should get a sorry cant connect to server. It may not work if you computer dosnt have restrictions.normally if you click a link to a site that is a secure site and you look at the bar with the web address all you should see is http:// and the sites name with me I see https:// and the sites name.
if you click a link to a site that is a secure site and you look at the bar with the web address all you should see is http://...
If the web page IS using a secure protocol, I see https://. I see http:// (or I see no http://) when the web page is NOT using a secure protocol. Why would I see the opposite?
What was the original question again...? 🙂
You may not be able to decide if the web page uses http or https but you can type it into the address bar and it will change the search instead of you going to the Netflix home page you get a sorry cannot connect to server.
If you type the URL into the address field, that is not a "search." If the web page is NOT using a secure protocol (and there is no secure protocol version), then adding an "s" makes the URL into an address that does not exist. So that's why you cannot connect to server, because the address does not exist. In some case, the web site may have both a secure and not secure version of the web page; then it will work either way, but each page will function differently (because they are actually two different web pages that look similar).
Yes I know that but after I put the s after http when ever I go to a secure web site s appears after http and even if I delete the s and refresh the page the s reappears ive tryed all the safari trouble shouting and nothing has works so my question is how can I make s stop appearing when a secure site is loading
I don't get what you are saying...
The "s" probably appears because there is no version of that web page that does not use a secure protocol. If it is a SECURE web page, the "s" appears because it is using a secure protocol. If you delete the "s," the web site is probably re-directing you back the secure web page (because there is no non-secure version of that web page that does not use a secure protocol). Therefore, "the s reappears."
so my question is how can I make s stop appearing when a secure site is loading
If it is a "secure site," then it is using a secure protocol, so the "s" will be there. You can't change that... The only way the "s" would not reappear is IF the web site operator had an alternate non-secure version of the web page, which would actually be a completely different web page address from the secure version. And that non-secure version would not have functions that required security (such as logging in).
Ok. But when I try to load a secure site it won't let it load it says that it cant connect to the server. This only happens on secure sites and it started to happen right after I put and s after the http when I was trying to play a game on my computer. Before that secure web sites would load and every thing would be fine. The reason I used the s is because as I said before on the computers at my school if you put an s after http you can play games on go on web sites that you normally can't. I had gone on the site that had the game and played the game before but this was before the restrictions we turned on.
You manually adding an "s" after http (for whatever reason) has nothing to do with it. The web page, not the user, determines it is using a secure protocol or not.
The web site operator may have changed how the web site operates. Maybe there used to be a non-secure version of the web page, and now there is not. As I mentioned all the way back in the original reply, you should try the web site with another web browser, such as FireFox, to see if there is any difference.
What version of Mac OS X and Safari are you using...?
