This application makes it easier to run your site as full https and helps solve the problem of user posted http images. Displaying http images on a https page causes mixed content browser warnings and is a common reason why forums can't easily run as full https.
When a user posts a link to an external image the application does the following:
- Checks if the user is posting a http url. If so it checks if there is a https version available (most popular image sharing sites have https support). If a https version is available then the image is simply rewritten to use the https version.
- If there is no https version available then the image is rewritten to point at a local script. This script gets the image in the background and serves it via https thus removing any mixed content warnings.
Requirements
Your site needs to be running with a https base url with a valid SSL certificate.
Your server must be able to make outbound libcurl requests via php to download images.
Use the sslimageproxy_check.php script in the tools folder to verify requirements before installing. Download Link
