Whenever I go to a FB page that displays some content that is not served over https, FB gives me a warning saying that the secure connection will be temporarily disabled, but will be restored when I log back in the next time. And you have to agree to that.
- StavrosK 15y agoYep, it did that for me just yesterday as well.
- dspillett 15y agoI'm told that there were bugs in that process discovered shortly after its introduction that could mean the switch back to HTTP happened without the user being told so explicitly. These have been fixed, but the poster you replied to may have been unlucky enough to have used such an app during a window when such a problem was still present. Another source of confusion is that nether the iPhone or Android native facebook applications respect the HTTPS setting, so to use HTTPS for facebook access on a phone make sure you use it via the web browser not the native app. IIRC this was one of the bugs: accessing facebook via one of those apps would reset the switch for next time you accessed the site by other means, whereas now it doesn't.
