When I read my outlook.com email using IE9 or IE10 (starting at http://outlook.com) I get an "Internet Explorer blocked this website from displaying content with security certificate errors." popup with the "Show Content" button. I'm getting this dozens of times a day, so this is really annoying.

 

(Note: this is not the same as getting a certificate error for the entire page because its certificate is invalid).

 

I have discovered that outlook.com pages contain a link to:

 

https://fsecure.wlxrs.com/_D/F$Live.SiteContent.Messenger/6.1.2090/

 

This link cannot be resolved, because the host fsecure.wlxrs.com doesn't exist (checked with http://network-tools.com/default.asp?prog=lookup&host=fsecure.wlxrs.com)

 

For some reason, IE, when accessing the Internet via a proxy (our corporate infrastructure works this way) triggers a certificate error for the linked page because not being able to find the certificate has priority over not being able to resolve the host.

 

IE when not using a proxy, or FF22, do not trigger an error.

 

Still, there is something invalid in the outlook.com pages, and this must be fixed.

 

Can you MSFT guys please fix this?

 

 

P.S. I picked "Calendar" as the topic because I had to select a topic, but the entire outlook.com "site" is affected!
