# https connection and failure with wp-slimstat.js

 * Hello,
 * I use a webspace with available https connection. Some websites (look at [http://www.blackseals.net/kontakt](http://www.blackseals.net/kontakt))
   use every time https. If someone use http, then there is a automatic change to
   https.
 * Through some Webbrowser Developer Toolkit I found an error message it I use https
   connection. In the following case from IE9:
 * >>>
    SCRIPT5: access denied wp-slimstat.js?ver=8220, Zeile 1 Zeichen 1 <<<
 * What does this mean? What is wp-slimstat.js and how I’m able to fix the error?
   Please for help.
 * regards, Andyt

 * Hi there,
 * it looks like you just found a bug in my plugin, congrats 🙂 I will include a
   fix in the next release. The problem is related to the use of HTTPS, which needs
   to be handled in a specific way.
 * To answer your questions, wp-slimstat.js is the tracking javascript WP SLimStat
   uses to retrieve some information about the user’s browser and screen (resolution,
   plugins used, etc)
 * Please test the new version as soon as it’s out, and let me know.
 * In the meanwhile, a vote for my plugin would be a nice way to show your support!

 * Ok, thanks for your information. I will still wait for the release and will do
   further tests. After that I will response to this thread…
 * I already voted for your plugin 😉

 * Hi AndyT,
 * this has been fixed in the new version. In the meanwhile, you can go to Settings
   > SlimStat > General, and change “Custom path” to use https instead of http. 
   That should do it.

 * Hi Camu,
 * In this case everytime https is used or not? It should only use https if the 
   website is opened by https, or not?

 * Hi there,
 * interesting point, indeed. I hadn’t thought about that. So you’re saying that
   your site has both http and https enabled and people choose whatever they like?

 * Maybe they are able to choose. If someone change http:// to [https://&#8230](https://&#8230);
 * However, some sides are forced for https (contact, teamspeak status) and some
   sides (includes all article) is normal http. Also the entry view use only http.
 * The Dashboard and Login/Logout use also forced https.

 * Good point, I will implement something that will make WP SlimStat choose the 
   right protocol depending on the one being used to access the page 🙂

 * That would be a fine missing feature 🙂
 * In css files I’m able to use for picture “//domain.com/picture.jpg” instead of“
   [http://domain.com/picture.jpg&#8221](http://domain.com/picture.jpg&#8221);. 
   Don’t know if it would be simular for you?
