 * My IT dept. is helping me set up wordpress behind a Shibboleth SSO and we noticed
   trouble with the Google Doc Embedder. One thing I noticed is that GDE generated
   code does not fully qualify the URL. Notice how the http: is missing in the GDE
   version?
 * Google Docs Viewer generated code:
    <iframe src=”[http://docs.google.com/viewer?…&#8230](http://docs.google.com/viewer?…&#8230);..”
   ></iframe>
 * GDE generated code:
    <iframe src=”//docs.google.com/viewer?…………”></iframe>

 * Ok, I’ve sorted out my issues, but it seems to me that the URL should still be
   fully qualified?

 * Hi there,
 * The protocol-less URL is actually a “feature” in that it will load the viewer
   in whatever protocol (http/https) the parent page is using. Otherwise you can
   run into the ugly outcome of an https page trying to load an http instance of
   the viewer, which will be blocked in most browsers.
 * All that to say, that behavior is intentional and shouldn’t cause problems.
