Web-javascript client on HTTPs page and HTTP connection to Lightstreamer server ?

bohis

Hi, please is some way how to communicate between web/javascript client and Lightstreamer server via HTTP protocol on page that is under HTTPS protocol ? My tests give me this expected javascript error:

lightstreamer.js?:181 Mixed Content: The page at 'https://www.xxx.yyy/' was loaded over HTTPS, but requested an insecure XMLHttpRequest endpoint 'http://push.[url]www.xxx.yyy:8080/lightstreamer/create_session.js[/url]'. This request has been blocked; the content must be served over HTTPS.

I think, that is no any trick to get is to work, and only one solution is run Lightstreamer server with HTTPS too, and conntect from client via HTTPS, right ?

Thanks

Hi,

Yes, you are right a connection of the type: secure page to insecure server is denied by all modern browsers.
Only with some older browser versions the library can recover with some fall-back, please refer to this https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1oNBAfe7e6nJuMVGDhjKxMTjBEVntEsK4vUTqM8Few84/edit#gid=1

But the best solution is that your client connects to the Lightstreamer server via HTTPS.
