LE Community Unsecure?

I just saw this and became rather alarmed:

Any idea how this might happen?

This is sometimes the case when an (a?) user posts an image from an unsecure third party location.

That was my initial guess. Thanks so much for confirming though. :pray:

Wonder why this happens? Not updating the http to https initially and causing mixed content?


a user

Always use "a" when the word that follows sounds like it begins with a consonant and "an" when the word that follows sounds like it begins with a vowel.

Yup.

The mixed content error is gone now as the image has been mirrored on Discourses AWS cloud.

Figured as much, "an user" didn't "sound" correct, even though the word user starts with a vowel. Didn't really realize it sounds like it starts with a consonant.

Which are scripts? I'm not understanding. Do you mean the website architecture?

Is that the source code? Looks like JSON.

Yup. (I suppose I have to submit more text to allow the input.)

Interesting... Thanks for that.

By the way ... I am not getting the error.

It was momentary. I'm almost certain that Osiris hit it in one. Certainly worth making note of as a potential security hole though.

There already has been a thread about this.

Hmm, I think it was this one:

But I also remember a thread where the outcome was that something had been fixed.. Which is not the case for the thread above.
