This morning, upon upgrading my Firefox browser to the latest version (from 22 to 23), some of the key aspects of my back office (website) stopped working.
Looking at the Firebug log, the following errors were being reported:
Blocked loading mixed active content "http://code.jquery.com/ui/1.8.10/themes/smoothness/jquery-ui.css"
Blocked loading mixed active content "http://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/jquery.ui/1.8.10/jquery-ui.min.js"`
among other errors caused by the latter of the two above not being loaded.
What does the above mean and how do I resolve it?
This question is related to
http
security
firefox
https
mixed-content
Put the below <meta>
tag into the <head>
section of your document to force the browser to replace unsecure connections (http) to secured connections (https). This can solve the mixed content problem if the connection is able to use https.
<meta http-equiv="Content-Security-Policy" content="upgrade-insecure-requests">
If you want to block then add the below tag into the <head>
tag:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Security-Policy" content="block-all-mixed-content">
I have facing same problem when my site goes from http to https. We have added rule for all request to redirect http to https.
You needs to add the redirection rule for inter site request, but you have to remove the redirection rule for external js/css.
I just fixed this problem by adding the following code in header:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Security-Policy" content="upgrade-insecure-requests">
Simply changing HTTP to HTTPS solved this issue for me.
WRONG :
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.5.1.js"></script>
CORRECT :
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.5.1.js"></script>
In the relevant page which makes a mixed content https to http call which is not accessible we can add the following entry in the relevant and get rid of the mixed content error.
<meta http-equiv="Content-Security-Policy" content="upgrade-insecure-requests">
To force redirect on https protocol, you can also add this directive in .htaccess on root folder
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_SCHEME} =http
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
I had this same problem because I bought a CSS template and it grabbed a javascript an external javascript file through http://whatever.js.com/javascript.js
. I went to that page in my browser and then changed it to https://whatever...
using SSL and it worked, so in my HTML javascript tag I just changed the URL to use https
instead of http
and it worked.
In absence of a white-list feature you have to make the "all" or "nothing" Choice. You can disable mixed content blocking completely.
The Nothing Choice
You will need to permanently disable mixed content blocking for the current active profile.
In the "Awesome Bar," type "about:config". If this is your first time you will get the "This might void your warranty!" message.
Yes you will be careful. Yes you promise!
Find security.mixed_content.block_active_content. Set its value to false.
The All Choice
iDevelApp's answer is awesome.
@Blender Comment is the best approach. Never hard code the protocol anywhere in the code as it will be difficult to change if you move from http
to https
. Since you need to manually edit and update all the files.
This is always better as it automatically detect the protocol.
src="//code.jquery.com
Its given the error because of security. for this please use "https" not "http" in the website url.
For example :
"https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.8.10/themes/smoothness/jquery-ui.css"
"https://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/jquery.ui/1.8.10/jquery-ui.min.js"
If you are consuming an internal service via AJAX, make sure the url points to https, this cleared up the error for me.
Initial AJAX URL: "http://XXXXXX.com/Core.svc/" + ApiName
Corrected AJAX URL: "https://XXXXXX.com/Core.svc/" + ApiName,
It means you're calling http from https. You can use src="//url.to/script.js"
in your script tag and it will auto-detect.
Alternately you can use use https in your src
even if you will be publishing it to a http page. This will avoid the potential issue mentioned in the comments.
If your app server is weblogic, then make sure WLProxySSL ON entry exists(and also make sure it should not be commented) in the weblogic.conf file in webserver's conf directory. then restart web server, it will work.
I found if you have issues with including or mixing your page with something like http://www.example.com, you can fix that by putting //www.example.com instead
