Description

Enables warnings when potentially dangerous content is downloaded over HTTP. If you enable or don't configure this policy, when a user tries to download potentially dangerous content from an HTTP site, the user receives a UI warning, such as "Insecure download blocked". The user can still download the item. If you disable this policy, the warnings for insecure downloads are suppressed.
