# Widget images not HTTPS

 * I just installed some certificates from the Let’s Encrypt initiative and switched
   my games blog among others over to https-only. I have weeded out all other non-
   encrypted sources (decorative widget images and the like) but I still get a ‘
   partially encrypted’ message from Firefox when I visit.
 * I believe that the the game icons that the Advanced Steam Widget loads are the
   cause of this, as they have http and not https addresses when I go through the
   page’s source code.
 * You can see for yourself at [https://games.brokkr.net](https://games.brokkr.net)
 * Is this correct? And if so, is it possible to have the plugin use https when 
   getting ressources?

 * D’uh. I could of course just test my theory by removing the widget. And yes, 
   that does remove the last unencrypted content from the page which is now given
   the all-encrypted padlock sign by Firefox.
 * So the question remains: Is it possible to get the ressources over https (i.e.
   are they availabe that way) and is it something that you might consider for the
   plugin?

 * Well, there are secure versions of the Steam images, but they aren’t revealed
   in the data that is retrieved for the widget. I’d have to hard-code in a server
   address that is subject to change, and I’m not sure I want to do that.
 * Of course, it’s of little use to download a few Steam icons as encrypted, but
   I understand the symbolic purpose of it. If this feature is important to anyone
   else, leave a reply, and I might consider adding it.

 * As you rightly point out the lack of encryption off a few images aren’t a big
   deal. It’s just annoying that it causes the whole page to be termed ‘un-safe’.
   I like the plugin – and thank you for your work –
    but that annoyance probably
   weighs heavier.
 * But I understand your reluctance to make such changes. I’m thinking that caching
   the images locally and then serving them from there could circumvent the issue
   but I suspect that that is outside the scope of a WordPress plugin – or maybe
   PHP in general – apart from possible copyright issues.
