Hi, all, something broke my https connection - unfortunately, I don’t know what did it. When I visit [https://www.miraverde.de](https://www.miraverde.de) I get a “not secure” (or similar) notification in Safari (in Firefox, it’s just a crossed-out lock symbol). I’ve looked everywhere - I have not http:// references. Period. However, if I check the page with Firefox developer view, it shows me that there are plenty of [http://loads](http://loads): ![SCR-20240222-qitz](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/8/4/84cc7a3510ee05d380c43c7024d2a95c7c4b5606.png) Oddly, the Brave browser tells me the site is secure and the certificate valid… I have cleared the cache on both Firefox + Safari… still getting a “not secure” warning. I’m completely lost here, does anyone have any ideas? Thank you! ---

I just checked your site using Safari and it shows a valid certificate. The lock symbol displays correctly. ![Screenshot 2024-02-22 at 12.45.33 PM](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/b/f/bfa33cdd10b788125d5ea07bf1b6d458a2481f12.png) ---

Looks secure as long as you get there via an HTTPS call. `https://www.miraverde.de/` However, you can still get there with a straight HTTP URL `http://www.miraverde.de/` You should redirect all http calls to https using an htaccess fill. ---

> [@hdbaumeister](#): > > [https://www.miraverde.de](https://www.miraverde.de) Run the site through [https://www.whynopadlock.com/](https://www.whynopadlock.com/) It will give you the code for your .htaccess file to force https and that should fix the issue. ---

Fantastic, thank you so much, Doug! For some reason, the .htaccess file disappeared and the edit window in RapidWeaver was empty. I was able to roll back to the previous version within RapidWeaver, so I’m assuming something happened to it during an update. Very odd, but you saved the day! BR Nick ---

Thank you for checking - very odd indeed, that some browsers will show SSL working and some not. The issue was caused by a missing .htaccess file. ---

Hey Rob, thank you for the URL, that site is new to me. It generates a very specific .htaccess file. My “old” one was more generic, but seemed to do the trick (when available, LOL): ```auto RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301] ``` ---

It’s a great site. I used to use it all the time.
