https ssl

Hi,

We are planning on changing a section on our website to work in https, we still want the normal link http to work, some of the pages have flash objects in them and I'm using the media tag to insert them, I'm giving the url relative meaning
{^Media|(type)swf|(url)/flash/example.swf|(width)730|(height)350|(Autoplay)True|(Loop)True^}
I always get the flash with a http source instead of the source without the base domain so it will change automatically by the current location.
Is there any easy way to do this or I need to create a swfobject with a relative path?

thanks.

RE:https ssl

Hi,

actually if the swf file is linked from your site (not some external), the control generates a relative path.

Example:

Media|(type)swf|(url)~/Images/swfscout_VideoSample.aspx?ext=.swf|(width)300|(height)200|(autoplay)1|(loop)1|(menu)1

The code contains ~ sign, in your example is missing. So I am not sure if it not an issue in your case.

Then the relative path is resolved automatically according to the current document, i.e. if document is accessed using https, the flash file has absolute url starting with https.

This behavior is because of behavior of IE8 browser. In case that documents access with https protocol contains some image (or something) starting with http, the IE throws security warning. More information you can find here:

RE:https ssl

Hi,

I set up SSL on IIS7 and in properties of document which contains a flash file I set Requires SSL to yes but have not received any redirection issue (tested on 5.5 R2).

Could you please provide more details about this issue? Is the site available online so we could take a look?
The rest of pages that requires SSL work correctly?
