"You have requested an encrypted page that contains some unencrypted information..."

[Tofu Optimist <to...@yahoo.com>]

Hi --

Not sure if this a mod_perl problem or not, but I seek
any advice to how I might be able to avoid to solve it
using mod_perl.

On my site http://www.aaa.com I have a link to
https://www.bbb.com/redirect.

/redirect is handled by Redirect.pm, a mod_perl 2
module which sets a cookie and redirects.
The redirect goes over to http://www.ccc.com.

Note aaa is regular http, bbb is secure https, and ccc
is regular http.  

The redirect is pretty simple

my $cookie_out = CGI::Cookie->new(
        -name    => $hitid,
        -value   => $cell,
        -domain  => 'www.bbb.com',
        -path    => '/',
    	-secure  => $ENV{HTTPS},
        -expires => '+1d',
    );

$r->err_headers_out->add('Set-Cookie' => 
$cookie_out);
$r->headers_out->set(Location => $url);
return &Apache::REDIRECT;

In Netscape, when I click on the link from aaa to bbb,
the brower tosses up a popup window warning "You have
requested an encrypted page that contains some
unencrypted information..." 

What does this warning mean? The bbb page is
contentless, just a redirect -- what could be insecure
on it?  Is there some mod_perl magic that would avoid
this warning?

Thanks

TO
