Chrome: Google experiment for HTTPS mixed content

His team will run an experiment this week in an attempt to find solutions to an HTTPS problem that the Mozilla Foundation has also been trying to resolved last year.

The problem that Google is trying to solve in Chrome is called "mixed content". ), which Google describes as:

Το μεικτό περιεχόμενο παρουσιάζεται όταν μια αρχική HTML (μια ιστοσελίδα) φορτώνεται μέσω ασφαλούς σύνδεσης HTTPS, αλλά υπάρχουν πόροι (όπως εικόνες, βίντεο, css, scripts) που φορτώνονται μέσω μιας μη ασφαλούς σύνδεσης HTTP. Αυτό ονομάζεται μεικτό περιεχόμενο επειδή φορτώνεται τόσο το HTTP περιεχόμενο όσο και το HTTPS στην ίδια σελίδα. Τα σύγχρονα browser displays warnings about this type of content to indicate to the user that this page also contains unsafe content.

In recent years, mixed content is a big problem for browser makers and websites using HTTPS.Google Chrome The τα μικτού περιεχομένου του προγράμματος περιήγησης περιεχομένου, εκτός του ότι εμποδίζουν τους χρήστες να έχουν πλήρη πρόσβαση σε έναν ιστότοπο, έχουν φοβίσει και πολλούς διαχειριστές ιστοσελίδων που σκέφτονται να αλλάξουν σε HTTPS, who do not want to lose . Dealing with mixed content errors in web browsers is probably the last major hurdle to getting all administrators to switch to HTTPS. So this week, Google engineers started an experiment in Chrome by setting the browser to automatically upgrade any mixed content to full HTTPS. Google Chrome will do this by secretly changing the URL of unencrypted links (images, videos, css, scipts) from HTTP to HTTPS. If the same file exists with an HTTPS connection, then everything will work fine. If there isn't, then Chrome will log the error and run one of the many scripts configured for this experiment (analytically here). At this time, Google intends to run the above experiment on one percent of all Canary Chrome users who have enabled: chrome: // flags / # enable-origin-trial flag
