Hello,

We have tried this and there is no 100% full proof to hack this. If we forcefully replace http:// with https:// what if the source server does not support https:// ? You'll eventually lead to a 404 which would be even worst In fact, a few version back, we actually tried this and another forumer here, Peter were having some issues with this because Google Play doesn't support images loaded on https

The only real work around is to setup proxying https:// over for http:// content . I have an idea of setting up a proxy method to fetch non https content and serve it under https content but it would seriously harm your bandwidth because imagine every single image that is shared on the stream would go through this proxy method and this method would then grab the contents remotely and serve it under https mode. (Still reluctant to go through this route because I know next, people would complain about bandwidth usage )

If you want youtube to play, you will need to modify the iframe and remove http: from the database. Even non youtube links work using this method so far with this manual change until Mark and team can figure a better way.

I suggested to Mark to provide those of us that use https with an alternative that does not include http in embed as a temp fix (so we don't have to manually edit) but not sure if he had time to get to it.

We can specifically "fix" this for Youtube but what about other links? We don't have a proper source of sites that has https and sites that doesn't have https

I guess I can do some help for the research for which service provide support / don't support http or https. Since we don't have to deal with all service provider, but only specific provider and with "embed" media only. A normal link to external site will have no impact using which http(https) protocol as browser won't check on this.

And guess most of us don't have such resources to deal with the proxying (like facebook) method due to the CP concern.

I will send share the list later, but this could be a add-on list for all later release.

Hey guys,

I am trying to figure out if I can quickly create a proxy method to serve non https images on the page. If all is well, you'll see this in 1.2.8

Nice, this could be an ultimate solution to everyone ... Your team is energetic and means a bright future for sure! Have a nice evening ^.^

I hope this doesn't chain to another set of issues though. I am really afraid of the bandwidth part

Guess it's good to develop an "Alpha" (test) version for user to have a try and see the feedback; and provide option to turn on/ off for the trial feature.

Hello,

Yep, this is made as a configurable option in the "Links" application

Wow fantastic!! Can't wait to give it a try.

Thanks Mark!!

You are most welcome
