You could use JavaScript to test if the page has a SSL connection, by looking for the &quot;<a href="https://" rel="ugc nofollow">https://</a>&quot;&nbsp;in the url:<br />
<br />
&lt;script&gt;<br />
<br />
if(window.location.href.in<wbr />dexOf(&quot;<a href="https://" rel="ugc nofollow">https://</a>&quot;) &gt;= 0){<br />
&nbsp;securepg=true;<br />
}<br />
else{<br />
&nbsp;securepg=false;<br />
}<br />
<br />
&lt;/script&gt;
</div>


<div>
This would verify ssl state, but would not tell me what zone (resticted, trusted, internet, intranet) the page exists in.
</div>


<div>
You could try running a script that requires a trusted site, and if it fails you know it is not a trusted site. Use try...catch<br />
<br />
try {<br />
// run script requiring trusted site<br />
&nbsp;securepg=true;<br />
}<br />
catch (err) {<br />
// if above script cannot run, then it's not a trusted site<br />
&nbsp;securepg=false;<br />
}
</div>


<div>
How would a script require a trusted site? &nbsp;Have an example?
</div>


<div>
How about this:<br />
<br />
securepg=true;<br />
try {<br />
&nbsp; var test=new ActiveXObject(&quot;Scripting.F<wbr />ileSystemO<wbr />bject&quot;); &nbsp; &nbsp;<br />
}<br />
catch (e) {<br />
&nbsp;securepg=false; &nbsp; &nbsp;<br />
}<br />

</div>


<div>
That didn't do it ... both situations resulted in false ... her is what i actually used:<br />
<br />
<br />

<pre><code class="code-10 nolinks" id="code-233815"><span>&lt;html xmlns=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot; &gt;</span>
<span>&lt;head&gt;</span>
<span>    &lt;title&gt;Check Secure Javascript&lt;/title&gt;</span>
<span>&lt;/head&gt;</span>
<span>&lt;body&gt;</span>
<span> </span>
<span>&lt;script language=&quot;javascript&quot; type=&quot;text/javascript&quot;&gt;</span>
<span>securepg=true;</span>
<span>try {</span>
<span>  var test=new ActiveXObject(&quot;Scripting.FileSystemObject&quot;);    </span>
<span>}</span>
<span>catch (e) {</span>
<span> securepg=false;    </span>
<span>}</span>
<span> </span>
<span>if(securepg) { document.write('Secure!');}</span>
<span>else { document.write('Not Secure!');}</span>
<span> </span>
<span>&lt;/script&gt;</span>
<span> </span>
<span>&lt;/body&gt;</span>
<span>&lt;/html&gt;</span>
</code></pre>
</div>


<div>
Internet Explorer insists that only SSL sites can be registered as a Trusted Site, which means that the previous example to test for <a href="https://" rel="ugc nofollow">https://</a>&nbsp;in the url should be sufficient.<br />

</div>


<div>
You can turn off the 'SSL Required' option in the Trusted sites settings to allow for non-SSL sites to be added to the list. &nbsp;It is a checkbox below the list in the options dialog.

Is there a way to use scripting or coding (vb.net, c#, javascript) to detect the security status of the page holding the code (i.e. is it a trusted site) ?<br />

Retrieve Security Status of Webpage - Trusted Sites

Web browsers are applications used primarily to display documents, files and media from the Internet, identified by a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) that can be a page, image, video or other file. Some browsers require the use of add-ons or extensions to safely render the information they receive; others have systems built into them to perform the same functions.

Web Browsers

The .NET Framework is not specific to any one programming language; rather, it includes a library of functions that allows developers to rapidly build applications. Several supported languages include C#, VB.NET, C++ or ASP.NET.

.NET Programming

A scripting language is a programming language that supports scripts, programs written for a special run-time environment that automate the execution of tasks that could alternatively be executed one-by-one by a human operator. Scripting languages are often interpreted (rather than compiled). Primitives are usually the elementary tasks or API calls, and the language allows them to be combined into more complex programs. Environments that can be automated through scripting include software applications, web pages within a web browser, the shells of operating systems (OS), embedded systems, as well as numerous games. A scripting language can be viewed as a domain-specific language for a particular environment; in the case of scripting an application, this is also known as an extension language.
