877406 - https://espn.go.com/ does not work properly because of mixed content blocking

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Web Compatibility :: Site Reports, defect)

Description

[Matt Wobensmith [:mwobensmith][:matt:]]

Mixed Content Blocking is a feature that prevents insecure elements on secure pages from loading. In Firefox 23, this feature will default to blocking "active" insecure content, which may break some web sites. 

More information on Firefox's Mixed Content Blocker is below: 
http://blog.mozilla.org/tanvi/2013/04/10/mixed-content-blocking-enabled-in-firefox-23/

The security feature is currently breaking the HTTPS version of espn.go.com. 

https://espn.go.com/ should render and function like http://espn.go.com/, but it doesn't because some HTTP source(s) are not loaded. Here is a list of the active, HTTP resources that were blocked:

Note that this site also appears to be functioning incorrectly in Chrome 26 and IE10.

Comment 2

[Adam Stevenson [:adamopenweb]]

Issue still exists in FF and Chrome, haven't tested IE.

Comment 3

[Hallvord R. M. Steen [:hallvors]]

now redirects to http://espn.go.com/. Well, that's one way to fix it I guess.
