IE9 HTTPS security is compromised by my Greasemonkey script?

Question

I’ve got a Greasemonkey-for-IE script in IE9 that’s importing jQuery. But on secure pages it doesn’t work.

I’m getting:

SEC7111: HTTPS security is co         


        

Answer 1

The problem is that when you're in secure mode (ie HTTPS), all the files loaded by the page must also be HTTPS. The JQuery include you're making here is HTTP.

You need to detect whether the page is in HTTP or HTTPS mode (use window.location.protocol()), and adjust the URL of the JQuery include to suit. (all it needs is the additional 's' after 'http')
