Yes we have discussed this and will look to implement a solution in a future
update/release. As you say now that it's possible to get free certificates
(long overdue given the risks of public wifi) it will become more of a
problem for any non https applications. Before anyone asks when will that
solution be available. sorry the answer is it is a problem we're aware of
but it's not a simple or quick fix.

Ron,
That might be a 'quick-and-dirty' solution, but with more and more websites
turning to https only, imo Xerte should consider to have a solution to get
around the certificate issue.
It would be even better if websites start using valid certificates. With the
introduction of solutions like https://letsencrypt.org/ it shouldn't be to
hard.

regards,
robb

Try replacing the links in your iframe code to non https e.g.

http://www.pathxl.co.uk/iscope/pxlviewer/default.aspx?guid=a1fd1296-1489-447

The problem with the https link isn't xerte specific e.g. if you view the
https link direct you will see the same certificate issues.

Dear all,

 

I'm trying to show a PathXL image in Xerte, link:

https://www.pathxl.co.uk/iscope/pxlviewer/default.aspx?guid=a1fd1296-1489-44
77-82d8-ce96f3efe245
<https://www.pathxl.co.uk/iscope/pxlviewer/default.aspx?guid=a1fd1296-1489-4
477-82d8-ce96f3efe245&resid=115879> &resid=115879

This results in a message error in all browsers I tested. What should I do?

See also the attached screendumps.

 

Last week it seemed to work fine, so I thought the issue was resolved...

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Elly
