Currently, the API returns resources like this:

"high_resolution_icon_url": "http://cdn.sstatic.net/stackoverflow/img/[email protected]",
"favicon_url": "http://cdn.sstatic.net/stackoverflow/img/favicon.ico",
"icon_url": "http://cdn.sstatic.net/stackoverflow/img/apple-touch-icon.png"

When storing this in a table, then embedding the images in a page later, this gives mixed content warnings when using HTTPS. The CDN seems to be perfectly happy serving content over HTTPS, so can we return those links instead?

"high_resolution_icon_url": "https://cdn.sstatic.net/stackoverflow/img/[email protected]",
"favicon_url": "https://cdn.sstatic.net/stackoverflow/img/favicon.ico",
"icon_url": "https://cdn.sstatic.net/stackoverflow/img/apple-touch-icon.png"

  • Hmm, I thought they were returned protocol-relative at some point, maybe I'm misremembering.

  • @TimStone That'd be even better, but I stopped short of asking for that because I'm not sure how some mobile platforms would handle protocol-relative links.

    I have not encountered any mobile platform in the last few years that had any problems with protocol-relative URIs.
