Same here, so +1

I can either use http for our site (bad idea) or just not use the gametracker banners. We like them, so we would be glad to get them via https, too.

Thanks!

hey guys, here's a little workaround to use until gametracker fixed the issue:

if you're using nginx as your webserver just ad this to your configuration (could be done via apache, too)

[code]
location /gtproxy {

proxy_pass http://cache.www.gametracker.com/;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_redirect http:// https://;
}
[/code]

this adds a reverseproxy for the gametracker url. You are no longer including a http iframe directely but threw your https proxy and the browsers wont block it that way. You will only see a yellow https warning as some icons used in the iframe still come via http.

(sample for the big vertical banner)

In your iframe code change this

http://cache.www.gametracker.com/components/html0/?host=62.104.176.54:25200

to that

https://yourserver.com/gtproxy/components/html0/?host=62.104.176.54:25200

Can HTML banners please support HTTPS? They don't work on any https:// website because browsers block the http:// iframes as insecure.

Okay so here's the banner code for my TS3 server.

<div align="center">
<a href="http://www.gametracker.com/server_info/86.28.168.248:9987/" target="_blank"><img src="http://cache.www.gametracker.com/server_info/86.28.168.248:9987/b_350_20_262626_262626_15CDF1_111111.png" border="0" width="350" height="20" alt=""/></a></div>

As you can see these URL's in red are HTTP links.

My website is SSL (Force HTTPS), so I need the links to be HTTPS.

<div align="center">
<a href="https://www.gametracker.com/server_info/86.28.168.248:9987/" target="_blank"><img src="http://cache.www.gametracker.com/server_info/86.28.168.248:9987/b_350_20_262626_262626_15CDF1_111111.png" border="0" width="350" height="20" alt=""/></a></div>

Changing the first link to HTTPS is fine, 1 down, 1 to go.

However, changing the image src (second link) to https doesn't work.


Please can you advise on how to fix this?

Thanks.

This feature should be added as soon as possible. A few days ago, tsviewer.com finally switched all connections to https, so I'm sure gametracker would be able to do this as well.

Hi guys,

I noticed that the cache.gametracker.com subdomain does not have a valid SSL certificate, so i've been working around this by using https://www.gametracker.com/serverimage.png

cache.gametracker.com redirects to www.gametracker.com, but only redirects to http://

So my request is that the redirect preserves the protocol and cache.gametracker.com is added to the SSL cert's subdomain. OR in the likely case that this is not possible, allow direct access to the images over https without validating the browser/blocking the request without using the cache subdomain.

Thanks

It's 2017 now, this is a trivial issue and has continuously been requested since 2014. There is a workaround, however, Not using the cache subdomain causes cloudflare to block images since it cannot verify the user's browser (once the user navigates to gametracker https://wwww.gametracker.com images will loaded).

There are 2 very simple solutions. Add an SSL certificate for the cache.www subdomain OR disable browser verification for the main site. The latter is obviously not preferable.

In the 3 years this thread has been opened, I'm surprised no staff have chimed in.

Can the Gametracker started using SSL certificate and forced https connection in the future? I really need it

Thanks.

It would be nice to have banners delivered over https too to avoid browser warnings for insecure content loaded over https. There is not to much to say and/or explain about this because i am sure that you guys know what https is.

Thanks
