Mixed content issues in browser
-
Hi
When the site is running using SSL and this plug-in is used, the browser will report Mixed content warnings [1] in the browser console.
The reason for this warning is that the page is requested using HTTPS while a page resource is requested with HTTP
For this plugin it is the thumbnail requests that causes the issue.
A quick way to solve this is to make sure the thumb url is protocol relative [2]
Eg. “//youtube.com/?v=soev328”
Some caveats with this solution:
– Some IE8 issues [2]
