Is there some way to force a popular desktop browser (IE, Chrome, Firefox, Opera etc.) to only connect to a site via HTTPS and if the site does not support HTTPS, then not connect at all?
This is similar to , but I believe it's a bit different*.  Sites like GMail support a preference that pushes all traffic through the SSL edition of the site rather than the plain-text protocol.   For sites that don't offer such preferences (or ones that may, but I have been unable to find, like facebook), is there a way using only the browser (perhaps with a plugin or addon) to always try SSL first, and fall-back to plain-text iff SSL fails?  Is that solution available on Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux? Just one?     * The previous question was looking for external applications that would accomplish this goal.
Replace HTML page with contents retrieved via AJAX I have an HTML page with a typical structure:  &lt;html&gt;   &lt;head&gt;    &lt;script src="..." &gt;&lt;/script&gt;    &lt;style&gt;...&lt;/style&gt;   &lt;/head&gt;   &lt;body&gt;    content   &lt;/body&gt;   &lt;script&gt;     var success_callback = function(data) {       // REPLACE PAGE CONTENT &amp; STRUCTURE WITH "data"     }     ajax(url, params, success_callback);   &lt;/script&gt; &lt;/html&gt;   Do you think it is possible ?  I've already tried to give the html tag an id and doing $(id).replace(data); with no success.  Don't ask me why, but that is what I need (I'm working with a special "mashup builder" site... it is a long story).  EDIT : I forgot to say that scripts in the received content have to be executed, even external scripts included using &lt;script src="..."&gt;. AlwaysOn AG: Current Host Server - Owner Node - Primary Instance I'm building up a SQL Server AlwaysOn AG and I'm on the step "failover", manual and automatic:  I noticed that in the Windows Server Failover Cluster a "Current Host Server" exists. My knowledge says that this is the "master" of the cluster that the cluster hosts. But now I noticed that the "Owner Node", which hosts the Availability Group(-role) a other node could be. (The owner node is also the primary instance of the AG, right?)  Now for me there exist two questions for the normal operating of an AlwaysOn AG:  Q1: Should the "Current Host Server" the same as the Owner Node of the AlwaysOn AG?  Q2: Imagine if I want to maintain a host. Shall I first failover the AG (via SSMS or with ALTER AVAILABILITY GROUP...) to the second node/another node and at second a failover of the WSFC-Current Host?  Maybe someone could help me with this questions and give me some advice.  Thanks Let's make the hot network questions icons clickable I would like to see the icons in the 'Hot Network Questions' right panel clickable, leading to the homepage of the site where the question comes from.  It would make it more comfortable to switch to the site when you want rather to visit it than to see that specific "hot" question. Drupal SA-CORE-2014-005 - How to tell if my server / sites were compromised? I just updated all my sites using the patch method of resolving the Drupal SA-CORE-2014-005 exploit. I just read reports that just yesterday there is someone from a Russian IP infiltrating drupal sites.     My main concerns are now:   How do I tell if my sites have been comprised? What should I search for in my apache access logs to detect if my site was a victim or not? So far what are these hackers doing to comprised sites? How to compute the following integral?  $$\int\log(\sin x)\,dx$$    Motivation: Since $\log(\sin x)'=\cot x$, the antiderivative $\int\log(\sin x)\,dx$ has the nice property $F''(x)=\cot x$. Can we find $F$ explicitly? Failing that, can we find the definite integral over one of intervals where $\log (\sin x)$ is defined? What does $\bigcup_{i=0}^{\infty}[i, i+2]$ mean? I think I get it but I wanted to be sure before attempting the question:  Question  Describe the following set, and prove your answers correct. (Here brackets denote intervals on $\mathbb{R}$.)  $\bigcup_{i=0}^{\infty}[i, i+2]$  Does it mean: {$0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5...,\infty$} $\cup$ {$2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7,...,\infty$}?  If so, what is the difference between:  $\bigcup_{i=0}^{\infty}[i, i+2]$ and $\bigcup_{i=0}^{\infty}(i, i+2)$ $F$ is a finite field of order $q$. What is the size of $\operatorname{GL}_n(F)$ ?  I am reading Dummit and Foote "Abstract Algebra".  The following formula is given:  $(q^n - 1)(q^n - q)\cdots(q^n - q^{n-1})$.  The case for $n = 1$ is trivial.  I understand that for $n = 2$  the first row of the matrix can be any ordered pair of field elements except for $0,0$. and the second row can be any ordered pair of field elements that is not a multiple of the first row.  So for $n = 2$  there are $(q^n - 1)(q^n - q)$ invertible matrices.  For $n\geq 3$, I cannot seem to understand why  the formula works.  I have looked at Sloane's OEIS A002884.  I have also constructed and stared at a list of all $168$ $3\times 3$ invertible matrices over $GF(2)$.  I would most appreciate a concrete and detailed explanation of how say $(2^3 - 1)(2^3 - 2)(2^3 - 2^2)$ counts these $168$ matrices. Proof of Steinitz Theorem I want a source containing the proof of Steinitz Isomorphism Theorem stating:     For any Dedekind domain $R$ and any two nonzero ideals $I$ and $J$ of $R$ we have $I⊕J≅R⊕IJ$.   Thanks! How do I install python imaging library (PIL)? How do I install the python imaging library (PIL) on Ubuntu?  I tried doing  sudo apt-get install python-imaging   but now when i run     python selftest.py (a script I got from somewhere on the  website) I get (among other warning messages):  ... *** JPEG support not installed *** ZLIB (PNG/ZIP) support not installed ... *** 1 tests of 57 failed.   Have I somehow messed up the PIL -- how do I fix that?  Is maybe the PIL just fine, but that "selftest.py" is not really the right program for checking to see if PIL is installed properly -- how else can I tell if PIL is installed properly or not?  (I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS "Precise Pangolin").  (What I'm ultimately trying to do is to add a 2D barcode generator to some python code, and all the 2D barcode generators I could find that were written in python all seemed to use the PIL). Why Does Harry Have a Scar When Avada Kedavra Leaves No Trace? Why does Harry have a scar when Avada Kedavra leaves no trace?     ‘The Muggle authorities were perplexed. As far as I am aware, they do not know to this day how the Riddles died, for the Avada Kedavra Curse does not usually leave any sign of damage ... the exception sits before me,’ Dumbledore added, with a nod to Harry’s scar.   Half-Blood Prince - page 343 - Bloomsbury - chapter 17, A Sluggish Memory   What caused Harry to retain a scar from Avada Kedavra, when no one else in know history showed any signs of cause of death when Avada Kedavra was used?  What caused Harry's scar?  I'd love an answer based in canon, such as the books, interviews with J.K. Rowling, or Pottermore. I have installed Ubuntu on my D: partition using Wubi. Is there any way in which I can remove my Windows from C: drive and move my existing Ubuntu installation to C: drive and make it a regular install. Understanding Euclid's proof that the number of primes is infinite. In Euclid's proof, if $p_1, p_2, \dots, p_n$ are the only primes then $p_1 \times p_2 \times \dots \times p_n + 1$ is not divisible by any of $p_1, p_2, \dots, p_n$ (because of some algebraic facts), which makes another prime and is a contradiction.   The proof makes sense logically, and I tried some numerical examples to "feel" the proof better but...  $2 \times 3 \times 5\times 7\times 11\times 13+1$ is not a prime! $2 \times 3 \times 5\times 7\times 11\times 13 \times 17+1$ is also not prime! Why is the general case proof is not working for these examples? Why Cooper or Dr. Brand can't send message? Find the equation of the circle passing through two points (4,4) and (-2.-2) with radius 4 I am trying to solve this question but i cannot seem to find the center (h,k). I know i have to use the equation of circle form '(x-h)^2+(x-k)^2=r^2' and after that form to solution of the 2 point given and simultaneous equations them. I got the answer for that which is h+k=2 and that is where i got stuck. Please anyone help me with this. i also post my working as well. What's the blue pentagon for in Pokemon XY? On the Pokemon status screen, underneath the Pokemon and to the left of the custom markings, is a small blue pentagon:  This doesn't seem to be present on Pokemon obtained through the Pokemon Transporter from Gen V:  I've looked into it myself, and popular opinion seems to be that it's either some kind of &quot;Legitimate Pokemon&quot; mark or simply to indicate that the Pokemon originates from Gen VI. The latter seems far more likely to me, but do we know for sure what this blue hexagon means? Here is the .  Picture:   It's nothing special but I cant figure out why I get problems rigging this mesh. It would be important and a great Help! Thanks for reading and I know there are a lot of guides answering this question but I tried all and it doesn't seem to work. Since the Earth has a magnetic field, can it, in theory, be run through a conductive metal coil to create electricity? How do I prove that 15462227 and 15462229 relatively prime? Seems like this is the most powerful weapon of all: transport your enemy into a bulkhead, planet, etc. Transport your enemy's ship inside a planet, etc.  Is there some technical reason that it can not be used this way? Are there any non-green, non-artifact mana ramp cards? I have looked and can't seem to find any.  I have seen many green cards and some artifacts that do this, but nothing in Red, Blue, Black or White.    Are there any?  Note: By "Mana Ramp" I mean a card that generates mana, or one that lets you play more than one land per turn.  The end result, for example, would be on turn 4, playing a white only deck, I could tap more than 4 mana.  (Normally you only get one land per turn so a max of 4 mana on turn 4.)
