I have at the moment so many issues with https because many adevertisers, mediabuyers and even program owners are not really familiar with the change to https.

also some stupid security software are having issues.

here a few examples:

1. many changed their sites to https but still link somewhere in the site to some http source. sometimes only a pixel or even a font what is called with http instead of //

2. wrong server redirects for not existing sites. I was stepping into an issue here what nearly made me crazy to find out what is happening here. at the end I found the problem in a not existing favicon what did redirect the hard path to http.

3. not existing favicons can cause also wrong redirects if the server answers with a 404 redirect hardcoded on http.

and so on.....
the problem will come up in june when nearly every browser will block any non ssl source
or sources what are somewhow pointing or redirecting to a non secured source.

wait what will happen in and after june here when you see them all crying who did not inform themself about this new rules.
