HTTPS & framed_jump

HTTPS & framed_jump
I'm using the "framed_jump" option in "User Settings", which influence how externe links are opend (within a frame or not).

Yesterday I switched the protokoll to HTTPS (secure). Since this happend the frame opens (e.g. like here: http://demo.gossamer-threads.com/perl/linkssql/jump.cgi?ID=53202;d=1) the menu bar at the top appears, but the external homepages do not load, even if the external url of the hompeage is also called secure per https.

If i turn it back to HTTP - it works as usual.

I'm wondering how this can be solved, so that the frame jump works with HTTPS? Thanks for all of your ideas.

Hi,

I'm afraid thats a common problem. The reason is that an IFRAME using SSL (https) can not also open a http:// address in any of the frames. If you look in your browser console you will see a big red alert about it. We ended up keeping ONLY the jump.cgi stuff on http://, and then the rest of the site on https://. Wasn't ideal, but at least it works. Hope that helps.

Cheers

Thank Andy for your information. Your solutiom is also a good workaround.
But to make sure, would it also not work if all the content/links within the frame is https and the frame (jump) is also https?

It would... but lets be honest, what chance will there be of that? ;) You may be at best 50% using https - the rest would just be broken for your users (so unusable)
