Website Not Correcting Mixed Content SSL Errors

#1

Post by mallic »

Minor thing I noticed, but the website is not converting user posted images to be secured content. This is causing browsers to throw errors when a page loads with mixed content. (see below)

I would suggest setting up an image proxy to redirect/rewrite user content as secure content. After a cursory look at the PHPBB forums, here is is an older abandoned plugin that works with CAMO image proxy (or another online image proxy) https://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtop ... &t=2392726. There is probably a newer plugin on the forums somewhere, but I was just too lazy to look farther.

If you need a free image proxy server URL to use, I use https://images.weserv.nl/ on my personal webforums. It is a freely available image proxy.

Not a huge issue, just something I noticed. Figured you would be interested in correcting this since you went through the effort to set up a certificate with LetsEncrypt.
