ModX Revo wont save TVs with URLs - modx

I have set up a site using Revo and have made some URL TVs. However, when I put a URL into these TVs when editing a Resource the Resource wont save - ModX just infinitely loops the saving progress bar. The same occurs whether I use http or https.
The only way I can circumvent it is if I put the http in my template code such as:
http://[[*urltv]]
but this is bad practice as links could be either http or https.
I've tried both Text and URL TV types too.
Does anyone know a way to fix this?
EDIT:

I have had a similar issue recently.
Using the 'Web Developer->Network->403->Response' on Firefox, figured Cloudflare was blocking the Ajax request.
Had to temporarily inactivate the Cloudflare WAF to save Resources on ModX.
Tried playing around with the Cloudflare WAF settings, but nothing seems to turn the block off without having to switch off the entire WAF temporarily.
Hope this helps someone.

WWW version of website is showing at the end of the URL [domain]index.php?p=index.html

We have a website set up using the non WWW version of the website. At the moment when you access the WWW version of the domain it seems to redirect to www.ourdomain.com/index.php?p=index.html.
We are seeing the homepage template but with errors. (e.g. Images aren't loading). Does anyone know what would be the best way to fix what is happening or the potential causes.
You can use your browsers web inspector tools to see why assets like images aren't loading. Quite possibly it's because they are trying to load from the wrong domain.
If you didn't set the site URL in /craft/config/general.php then the URL set in your admin site settings will be used, so check that is correct first.
Removing the index.php?… part is covered in detail in Craft's Documentation so not worth repeating here.

Image URL being redirected to other web site

I am trying to use an image from an existing website in my html page. The issue is that the image is not getting resolved correctly, Even when I hit the image URL directly on browser, its getting redirected to some other site. I have tried on all browsers but no luck.
I have heard about restricting resource using hot linking but in this case not sure whats happening. Any pointers/suggestions please.
Eg - I want to use image(http://www.acsisair.com.au/wp-content/themes/acsis-air/images/logo.png) but when hitting this URL after clearing browser cache, its being redirected to other website (http://www.nine.com.au)
It's very, very likely a form of hotlinking protection: if you change the URL subtly to make it clearly incorrect, you get a 404 page.
That means when you enter an URL to a resource that exists, you're given a header redirect. That's not an accident.
There's likely nothing you can (or should) do to circumvent this.
Use images you can host on your own site.

Magento SEO URL's suddenly changed, can't reenable

I’m fairly new to the Magento platform but I have a decent amount of experience in web development on apache servers.
A few days ago I was asked to look into an issue that was first made aware of with failing filters.
I had a look at the google analytics data and it seems the SEO friendly URLs have all stopped displaying. The navigation URLs still use friendly words however on the page return the URL is redirected to a basic catalog URL.
http://www.camera-camera.com/cameras-and-accessories.html
instead now it goes to
https://www.camera-camera.com/index.php/catalog/category/view/id/9
I checked the admin config. The Web > SEO URL rewrites are set to YES
I toggled them to No saved and back to yes then saved. Tried clearing the catalog URL rewrite cache
Checked the htaccess file and it hasn’t been touched for months.
Emptied the core rewrite table and reindexed it.
So I’m outta ideas now, was hoping some of you more experienced users can have some input as to what else I can check.
I also found it strange that the URL is now ignoring postback parameters. If you look at their filters they are simply an a link to the same page with a post parameter. This gets striped and ignored now might be related?
A file restore was on the day it happened. Any files I should check it against?
Thanks for any help you can provide !
I just discovered that it was related to HTTPS. I didn't notice but seems the site keeps redirecting to HTTPS even though the filter links etc are pointing to HTTP, in the redirect the parameters are dropped. Now to figure out why its going into HTTPS

IIS, Redirecting and HTTPS

I have an interesting issue with HTTPS ports not being handled properly. It is a relatively small issue and I bet it is pretty simple to solve, I am just not thinking of it.
We have a website served with IIS 6, www.mylongdomainname.com. We have a secure portal which is handled via https://www.mylongdomainname.com. Now we have several vanity and marketing URLs that we use over the phone like www.shortname.com, etc. I have two websites setup, one that handles all request with the header www.mylongdomain.com which actually serves the website. The other accepts any traffic and permanently redirects to www.mylongdomain.com. This way if we ever add any more domains, they will all end up at the one, also it redirect mylongdomain.com to www.mylongdomain.com.
Everything here works fine. The issue now is when I google "shortname.com," the first result returned is the same as if I were googling "mylongdomain" however, google has been able to crawl the other pages via https://shortname.com and index them that way. We dont have SSL certificates for these other domains, so when you click through, you get a nasty un-trusted error.
This really wouldn't be an issue if we didn't use these URLs over the phone, and you all know how many people don't know the difference between the URL bar and a search box.
any suggestions or tips?
I'd set up a redirect so that https://shortname.com is sent to http://shortname.com with a 301 (permanent) redirect. This will put an end to the nasty untrusted error immediately. Furthermore, this will also cause Google to slowly but surely update their index.
There are multiple ways to do this. If you're using IIS7 you can use the URL Rewrite Module and write a redirect rule to take care of it.
Or if you're not on IIS7 it may be perfectly acceptable to write some code to accomplish this. I wrote some ASP.NET I've used plenty of times to take care of this HTTP/HTTPS redirection. In your particular case you could simply take my code and call SetSSL(False) in the Application_BeginRequest function of your global.asax.

SSL: Why does Chrome report mixed content? (Drupal 6)

I've just got a site running nicely with the whole site running through SSL, but Google Chrome is throwing a "This page contains some insecure elements" message, which isn't good in terms of end user trust-ability. All other browsers work fine, and give the golden padlock.
The site is a Drupal 6 e-commerce site, running on apache2, and the error appears in the front end as well as the admin area.
Does anyone know of any methods to find out exactly which elements are being considered insecure?
Edit: I've used Fiddler to check the traffic, and it really is all HTTPS. It even complains on the site holding page, which is very light and has no javascript etc on it...
It could be a browser issue? Have you tried restarting, or clearing all of your cache?
In Chrome, this is trivial. Hit ctrl+shift+j to open the developer tools, and it will plainly list the URL of the insecure content.
Try it on https://www.fiddler2.com/test/securepageinsecureimage.htm, for instance.
I just had a similar problem. Turns out it was a hardcoded background image URL in a CSS file.
You should particularly check any 3rd party stylesheets you are using, as they may hotlink to an image on another server.
Easy solution? Save those images to your server and change the URLs to relative paths in the CSS file.
Hope this helps!
Search the source for http:? Something like <Ctrl-U> <Ctrl-F> http: in firefox should do.
The insecure element is something loaded over insecure — non-https — connection, e.g. image, stylesheet, etc. you obviously need fully qualified URL to load insecure element/
Use Firebug plugin of Firefox. In the NET tab all file locations are shown clearly. Try to find any files that are obtained from http protocol.
It's probably related to this bug:
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=24152
Which is why a restart fixed it.
