I just turned our site secure (CF 4.0.1 on iPlanet on Solaris).  I expected everything 
to go smoothly as I had the necessary certificate, had tested the server in encrypted 
mode, etc.

Now several little but user-significant problems are cropping up, and all appear to be 
due to dealing with Internet Explorer feature/bugs.  This doesn't happen to the big 
boys - banks, credit cards - so where should I go to get good info on getting my 
secure site up to speed?

thanks,
Chris Norloff

the specifics:
1. Go back two pages and IE says "page has a mix of secure & non-secure items".  Not 
true, the "non-secure" stuff is just an IE internal error message saying one page in 
the frame needs to be updated - in the Microsoft Knowledgebase they admit this is not 
a security alert.  But a user would think so ...

2. The padlock (Secure Indicator) goes off.  IE feature/bug- it doesn't recognize a 
javascript call to a secure server as secure, so turns off the padlock. Again, in the 
Microsoft Knowledgebase they admit the connection is still secure ... but not to a 
user ...

and on and on ...
