Apple Safari disrupting image url's - magento

Has anyone every encountered this problem:
Apple's Safari v5 is disrupting the image urls on one of my magento v1.6.1 sites within the same domain. The site in question is http://store.guns-aws.com
When analyzing the lack of images, I have noticed that image urls are being disrupted from www.guns-aws.com to www.guns -aws.com [notice the space]
Ironically Safari 4 does not have this issue and the same site works perfectly fine with IE, FF, Opera and Chrome.
Thinking its a javascript error, I have also disabled java and still the problem persist.
All your help is appreciated.
p.s. Mangento wise, I have cleared the cache, reindexed the whole site to no avail.
With best regards
Fabian

Try going to System > Config > Web > Unsecure and check the Base URL and Base Media URL and make sure there are no spaces.
To determine if its a javascript or server error, right click on the page and hit View Source. If the URLs there have the space, its the server's fault. If they don't have the space, and you only see it in the Inspector its Javascript. However, I suspect its the server not Javascript.

I found out the error within the database -> core_config_data [base_media_url] of the site in mention. [If you ask me how the error developed, I really don't know...]
One will not notice that the url is disrupted via magento's settings panel as the url would display as it should so.
Hence for anyone with this trouble, just go to the database via phpmyadmin, select the core_config_data table and check for the base_media_url of the effected site and amend accordingly.
With best regards

Custom domain redirecting to index.html in firebase

So I just linked my custom domain with firebase and it shows connected:
image of connected status
which is great. But now when I search website without /index.html, it redirects me to this page. I want to see this page which is accessible only when I append website domain with /index.html. I am new to firebase. How can I make my domain access index.html page without specifically mentioning /index.html?
EDIT: I just noticed that it's working fine on the mobile devices and in the incognito tab on PC. It must be something with my chrome browser I am logged in with. which is weird :/ should I change the title? Cause I think fault could be related to browser. but help me if you can.
So the real issue wasn't the configuration but the browser cache. if you are facing similar issues then try clearing the browser cache or try browsing the website on a different device. Spent literally 1-2 hrs on such a silly problem. Either way, thank you.

Endless spinning wheel at Woocommerce checkout

I am in the process of building a shop on wordpress using woocommerce. All is well except that at checkout there is an endless spinning wheel blocking the payment processing.
I have checked the error logs - which show no errors
I have disabled all plug ins - which makes no difference
I have reverted to the default woocommerce shopfront theme - which has the same result.
The console shows no errors.
I have also followed the instructions here https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/endless-loadingspinner-on-the-checkout-page/ which assumes its a memory limit issue. This did not work.
So, after a bit of digging I found some reference here https://mikejolley.com/2015/11/12/debugging-unexpected-token-in-woocommerce-2-4/ and here https://www.maxsangster.com/blog/woocommerce-endless-loading-spinner-on-checkout/
Referring to these two pages I have been able to see that the json response from /?wc-ajax=checkout is just returning HTML which I would imagine is where the issue is.
However I am running an Apache server rather than Nginx as has been mentioned in some threads and articles. Assuming there is a server misconfiguration of the server or something that needs changing what might that be? Bearing in mind that I do not have direct access to this, so will need to be asking someone else to sort it out for me.
And finally if there is something else I can try what might that be?
Thank you to #plushyObject for generating the spark for this one.
The issue turned out that I had a legacy static html holding page in place as the site's homepage rather than having one set up with wordpress. Simply removing the .html page and letting wordpress's homepage take over solves the problem.
The moral of the story create your holding page in wordpress.
Go to Google Developer Tools, then Go to the Network tab. Click the button and make the request and let that bad boy spin out.
You mentioned the response is returning HTML. Click on the request that goes out that appears to be taking forever (/?wc-ajax=checkout) and then click on the Preview tab to display that HTML. I bet it shows an error or a clue, anyway.
In my case the checkout was working fine on Desktop but not on Mobile. After many search on internet I read the solution of #UntitledGraphic.
I had set a redirect in ht-access. The redirect was showing a different home page for mobile. When I removed it, the error gone. I checked back & forth and was sure the ht-access redirect was the problem.
If you have set any redirect in the Htaccess then remove it. This will solve your issue in this case.
I also checked the redirect code on function.php instead of htaccess again the problem appeared. So finally removed the redirection.
In my own case the redirection was the issue. So I had to delete the redirect I created via Cpanel.

firefox has blocked content that isn't secure

I am running a site. Some of its pages are not working in Firefox, but work perfect in Chrome. In Firefox it shows me a gray shield next to the URL and when I click on that shield and manually click on disable protection on this page then my page works fine. So now the problem is that there are many users on my site, and some of them don't know how to do it so I want to handle it on my site so its users don't need to do that.
How can I do it? I Googled and found a setting of Firefox in about:config named security.mixed_content.block_active_content. If we set it to false then it works. So is there a way to do it programmatically or other way so that users just view that page without seeing that shield?
As I understand it, content that is blocked by default by Firefox now is http content that is accessed from an https page. Common types of content that fall foul of this are external stylesheets and images.
As far as I am aware the way to prevent the problem on your site is to make sure that if a page is served by https, any and all other files that it references are also served by https.
Hi Friends,
The reason you see this error in Mozilla Firefox is because your
website is a Mixed Box that is, your website has many internal links
which are not SSL protected.
In order to avoid this error from showing up in Mozilla Firefox you
will have to make sure all the internal links on your website are SSL
protected.
So, Use https:// in your page not http://
I hope I was clear enough in answering your query.
firefox has blocked content that isn't secure means there are some contents on your website are not secure.
I had same issue as my fonts were downloading with http://google.apis.something instead of https
Then I change to //google.apis.something and problem get solved.
To know what is not secure in you website use this link

Chrome caching like a mad browser

I've got a web service that, like most others, uses js and css files. I use the old trick of appending a version number to the js and css file like; ?v=123 and that gets changed every time we update the service on production.
Now, this works fine on all browsers, except for Chrome. Chrome seems to prefer it's cached version over getting the new one and therefor seems to ignore the appended variable. In some cases, forcing it to refresh cache (cmd+r / ctrl+f5) wasn't enough so I had to go into options and clear out the cache for it to load up the new content.
Has anyone experienced this issue with Chrome? And if so, what was the resolution to the problem?
Chrome should certainly treat requests with varying query strings as different requests; a cached result for style.css?v=123 should never be used for style.css?v=124. If you're seeing different behavior, please file a bug at http://new.crbug.com/ and post the bug ID here.
That said, I'd first check to see whether the page was cached longer than you expected. If a new version of the page itself wasn't downloaded, then it would still be requesting ?v=123 as the HTML wouldn't have changed. If you're sending long-lived cache headers with the page, it's certainly possible that Chrome is caching it more aggressively than you expected. If that's the behavior you're seeing, please star http://crbug.com/8742 for updates.
I had also same experience
You can user Ctrl + Shift + R for cache free browsing in both Chrome + Mozilla.
I have had this experience as well.
I run a membership site which displays content such as "You must be logged in as a Gold member in order to see this content" if they are not logged in or are trying to view content not allowed by their membership level. But even if the user is logged in, the user would still see "You need to log in", due to Google Chrome's aggressive caching. In Firefox, however, it works fine as I test logging in and out of all 5 levels of membership - each displaying the proper content.
While Chrome's caching problem can be solved by clearing the cache every time the user logs in and out, it would be really annoying to take that approach.

Is there a Firefox plug in which can list unsecure assets which are causing the "Warning: Contains unauthenticated content"

I am developing web pages which reference external links/images/stylesheets etc. I have 1 page which loads fine in HTTPS, but then when I apply different external styles, some of the external styles cause a warning "Contains unauthenticated content"
Don't get me wrong, I understand WHAT this means, but I can't see any reference to any HTTP requests in View source, Firebug, Live HTTP Headers or in the View Page Info > Media window.
Does anyone have any tips or ideas of plug ins or tools which can identify exactly which items Firefox is not happy with?
Unfortunately this page is not live on the internet so I can't show it to you.
Thanks
You could, theoretically, use a proxy that just logs all requests and redirects them to the server. Of course, that is a very roundabout way of doing this :)
I have used Proxomitron and this showed the file!
Use FireFox to see the media assets. Click on the lock on the Status Bar when you are on a secure page, then Media.
