HTTPS pages have broken graphics

[tupilak]

I have a huge problem when using https - indicating that my Antenna graphics are not secure. All certificates are installed and independently verified as applied correctly and up to date. But when requesting the https website all the graphics 'break' and cannot be displayed. Website structure and text are fine.

Using insecure http everything works fine.

It would seem to be an internal referencing error to the graphics that causes them to break.

Is there some secret I am missing in Antenna that would convert my graphics to "secure" making the graphics https compliant?

Seriously appreciate help on this - I'm tearing out what little hair I have left over this issue!

Must be something with the links inside the pages.

Perhaps the links to the images are absolute links and include the whole path with HTTP and not HTTPS?
When the images are inside the same website, they should rather have relative paths like /images/graphic01.gif (where "images" in this example is the folder containing the images).

Hope this helps,

Thanks for the comment Loes, but all the images are in an "images" folder (and subfolders of this) and are refered to correctly since they display using http.
So how would I be able to refer them to using an https source? They are referred to internally within Antenna.
Here's the web siste if you want to take a look;
This displays fine, but site is 'insecure': www.whitelinedist.com
This displays with 'broken graphics: whitelinedist.com
Can't make sense of this

***PROBLEM SOLVED!!!!***

For anyone else having this problem of broken graphics with SSL (https://) the problem is caused by a server side error!

SOLUTION: If the HOTLINK protection is enabled on the  server, it has to be specifically directed to the https://web address. In my case, I only had reference to http which caused a 403 error on any graphics!

How stupid to I feel now? Duh!
Anyway, hope this helps someone else . . .

its also a good idea to add a 301 redirect into your .htaccess file
