Hey,

I have a site being developed (asp.net web application) and will likely be on a server with SSL. I currently do not have an SSL certificate, but I am pretty sure this site will eventually go on a server with an SSL certificate. I want to make sure that my pages will not cause a "This page has secure and nonsecure" popups on the browser, but since I don't have an SSL certificate I was wondering if there's an alternative way to test my site.

I know there are free SSL certificate providers out there but they all require a registered domain, but I don't have that either :rolleyes:

I don't know much about SSL, but in general I heard that that popup that I want to avoid occurs when you have resources (i.e. javascript files, and images) that are referenced to using "http" rather than "https"

Any help would greatly be appreciated.

Thanks in advance
