IE can not load Marvin applets over SSL communication

Sometimes IE can not load Marvin applets over SSL communication. You have got the following warning message: "This page contains both secure and nonsecure items."





The CODEBASE attribute of the OBJECT tag refers to a nonsecure page that the browser does not accept. The browser downloads the plugin from this URL, if the Java plugin is not installed on your machine.

Quote:

http://java.sun.com/products/plugin/autodl/jinstall-1_4_2-windows-i586.cab#Version=1,3,0,0

You should change this URL to a secure one:

1. To provide a secure page for downloading a Java plugin, copy a JRE cab file to your site.


2. Modify the refererence to this cab file in marvin.js. (Search the following code in the applet_begin function.)

Quote:

s += ' CODEBASE=" http://java.sun.com/products/plugin/autodl/jinstall-1_4_2-windows-i586.cab#Version=1,3,0,0"\n';

You should replace the text

Quote:

s += ' CODEBASE=" https://<PLUGINLOCATION>/jinstall-1_4_2-windows-i586.cab#Version=1,3,0,0"\n';

where <PLUGINLOCATION> is the new location of the cab file (e.g.: www.my_secure_site.com/java_plugin).


Note: The new URL must start with https protocol instead of http.
