[Bug 1240401] Re: Mixed content blocked

 

Hi Darren,

I wasn't able to replicate the specific problem you described. What
version of Mahara are you using?

Here are the steps I took to replicate:

1. Create a new page on https://mahara.org (which is currently running
Mahara 1.9.3)

2. Add a "Text box" block to the page.

3. In TinyMCE, add this image by URL:
http://www.iowaline.net/bigvolcano.gif

4. Save the block.

5. View the page.

6. Click the "Edit" button for the page

7. Click the "Edit" button for the text block

Everything worked as expected, not even any browser warnings. (Although
perhaps I disabled my browser warnings about mixed content at some point
in the past?)

Title:
  Mixed content blocked

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Browers blocking mixed content, esp. when you are on a SSL enabled
  site is becoming more of an issue esp. since not all browsers make
  this blocking obvious. Firefox only has a small icon in the universal
  bar.

  We already fixed bug #1207140 but that doesn't apply to other places
  where mixed content is used, e.g. in external image galleries. Flickr
  for example typically shows you http, but you can use the same URL
  under https. Thus, if you know that, you can use that instead on your
  SSL site.

  Is there a way of implementing something like the protocol relevant
  URL in Mahara or make it more obvious that content can't be displayed
  due to it being mixed? With more and more people having SSL, this will
  become more of a question.
