Description

« Hide

When viewing a page with embedded Flash movies over HTTPS IE clients get a security popup "This page contains both secure and nonsecure items".

All it takes to fix this is to change the object codebase from:

codebase='http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0'

to:

codebase='https://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0'

We have many .swf files posted in Confluence and since our IT folks insist on running HTTPS/SSL, this popup problem has become really annoying for our IE users. Seems like a very easy fix. Even though it's minor, it's been sitting here for almost a year. Please, please assign and fix.
