879080 - https://www.real.com/ does not work properly because of mixed content blocking

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Tech Evangelism Graveyard :: English US, 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:

The security feature is currently breaking the HTTPS version of www.real.com. It also appears to be functioning incorrectly in Chrome 26.

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


Blocked loading mixed active content "http://static.www.real.com/sites/all/themes/realplayer/css/style.min.css?mnjwtf" @ https://www.real.com/
Blocked loading mixed active content "http://static.www.real.com/files/js/js_3jHghlMLrjr9xXAC0JufqSSch3oAbkZstSqYdc4uuck.js" @ https://www.real.com/
Blocked loading mixed active content "http://static.www.real.com/files/js/js_t5uzvcj3NzUe_ABXO6w3JFkVFOIpo1NC_jZf42cVUas.js" @ https://www.real.com/

It looks like javascript and css are blocked, so why does this work on IE?  Maybe the site is doing user agent sniffing and providing different content to IE?

They force redirect away from HTTPS now.
