Displaying HTTPS Page in a UIWebView - https

I've been searching for hours but can't seem to find an answer to this question. I have an https site that I'd like to display in a UIWebView. I can display simple sites like google in the webview but my https site is giving me no joy. I've tried ASIHTTPREQUEST and everything, but still no luck. Any help/code would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Paul

Why does my Linkedin share button not work?

I want to create a share button for Linkedin, the GUI button is all set up, but it doesn't work when clicking it. I researched a bit and came to the conclusion that using the same sharing mechanism, other sites work but mine doesn't.
I narrowed the problem down and now I'm trying to figure out why google.com works but my site doesn't. I don't use my real company website because it's personal information, but it's a website that has been on the internet for more than 10 years (in case this information is useful). When I go to the links, my website throws an error, but Google works fine.
Ⓧ https://www.linkedin.com/cws/share/?url=https://www.my-company-website.com
〇 https://www.linkedin.com/cws/share/?url=https://www.google.com
Is there any pre-requisite I'm missing, which makes my site not work?
I realized my server was blocking Linkedin (to reduce traffic from Linkedin bots). That's why it wasn't working.
As hint: I was working on closed webpage (for outside users) and that also causing problems with Linkedin share button.
Hint 2: Website uses Lets Encrypt! SSL and information mentioned here is a fake news https://wordpress.org/support/topic/linkedin-share-button-not-working-3/ Work's fine!
If you ever get stuck on trying to figure out why your page simply doesn't populate nice preview data on your LinkedIn share page, then check out the LinkedIn Post Inspector.
Insert the URL of your page (i.e., example.com), not the URL you are using to share (i.e., linkedin.com/share?url=example.com). You'll get detailed information on how your site will appear and why, like, for instance, sharing wikipedia.org...
Hope this helps someone else with a LinkedIn share issue!

Googleusercontent breaking image links in newsletter

We send automatic emails to our customers.
Google is rewriting the email's image links and completely breaking them, giving a 404 error
Google is rewriting to:
https://ci5.googleusercontent.com/proxy/lVDjm7qabVoI9h7Coj2diPm68n9EGr70vaBDLDFWRsy4fPRbABMENW-f24JPGUgCWLdw7bPE5RvA5me4D9vVsS_pec0Xpc1uheArG_tIGk71Hjs=s0-d-e1-ft#http://www.example.com/image.png
404 error
So there is something wrong with the links that are being created by Google or the images are just not being uploaded to the googleusercontent server, but I have no idea how to solve the issue.
After much struggling, I discovered a solution for google injecting its own proxy server image URL.
For me, it was hosting the image privately (on my own server) that was causing the problem. After hosting the image publicly (on Mailchimp's Content Manager, for example) I was able to serve my images much more reliably.
I really hope this helps as it was causing me all kinds of problems.
Good luck!

Website with Https does not work on IE 8

I recently moved by site to https and i have many users from xp and ie8.
Just noticed website with https not working as per screenshot below:
AS per my research on similar topics:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/968089
Microsoft says, you cannot view the site until you make some changes into your browsers, which is not possible to explain to every user who has IE browser.
Similarly, when i view Google on ie8 it works fine, so any one guide me what is the solution?
any help would be appreciated.

Displaying correct joomla website information when posting website link

I was hoping someone can help me fix an issue. When someone posts a link to my joomla created website, they get the heading "Whats New?", which is my default article page for the site. It is the current blog articles written.
For example, if someone posted my link on facebook, it would look like this:
Whats New?
MyDomain.com
Description of website goes here...
Everything looks great except for the "Whats New?". Is there a way to put My webpage name instead of the name of the default page? How about showing an image? When posted on facebook, there is just text and no image used.
Thanks, any help would be greatly appreciated
Facebook uses Opengraph data to build those posts. If facebook isn't offered OpenGraph data, then it will use its own methods to try and find the information it needs. Sometimes with useless results. There are a lot of options to fix this. Joomla extensions has a few opengraph extensions for you to install, some of those should work fine. You can always write something yourself or add the data in your template. But don't expect results right away, because facebook caches those media objects for some time.
Open graph: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/opengraph/
Joomla Extensions: http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/site-management/seo-a-metadata/open-graph
There are more ways to fix this, but this is probably the easiest for you. Hope it helps.
Good Luck.
In the Joomla backend, do the following:
Open the menu item the the article is assigned to.
On the right hand side, open the Page Display Options panel
Add whatever you like to the Browser Page Title parameter.
Hope this helps

Firefox cross domain fonts

I am trying to write a template for my Blogger blog http://www.mostafa.info, I need to use a custom webfont.Everything goes well in IE and Chrome, but in Firefox that webfont won't render.
If you have a look at my blog with both firefox and chrome, you can see that font are different.
I searched a lot for the problem and I found out that the problem with Firefox is about cross-domain fonts. Those fonts must be hosted on my own Blogger blog (which is impossible!). And let me mention that I tested Google webfonts in Blogger and all went well!
But the question is how can this problem be solved?
Any kind of help will be appreciated.
I found a good way; I embed my webfonts into CSS using base64 like this:
#font-face{
font-family: "myFontName";
src: url(data:font/woff;base64,d09GRgABAAAAAGZ0ABEAA...AAA)
}
In this way It works in all browsers ;) and more important It is not necessary to have access to filesystem of server so I can host my CSS/Fonts on google sites
But the question is how can this problem be solved?
By having the server the fonts are hosted on send the right CORS headers to allow your blogger blog to access them.
