Gametracker HTTPS support

Hey,

I'm currently adding HTTPS support to my website.

Unfortunately the banners of gametracker are loaded by http://cache.www... which is getting blocked by i.e. Firefox for being mixed-content (loading http on a https site).

Is there any way to get those banners via HTTPS?
I mean https://cache.www... is available but just with an untrusted certificate

Many thanks for your help

Best regards,

Yes! You can get the banner code by inspecting the specific element get the banner code. Here you go,

Right click on your banner and choose inspect element.

Then copy the url which will contain the banner link.



Just copy and paste into your browser.

Cheers!

Hey mate,

thanks for your answer but this might not be the answer I expected.
This link is also just plain-http

I need an HTTPS link with a valid SSL-Certificate.

And it's way easier to get banners code. Just use the link underneath the banner you showed in the screenshot: "Image & HTML Server Banners - Get Code"

As far as I know GT doesn't support SSL-Certificate.

I mean they support https://www.gametracker.com

So maybe there's a way they support banners also in HTTPS

GameTracker only supports SSL for payments. There is one other person interested in this and it will be considered when planning future updates to the website.
I am retired from GameTracker after 11 years and will not be responsive for support requests.

It's working for me.
For example,
https://www.gametracker.com/server_info/183.87.110.10:27015/banner_560x95.png?random=523273

I'm damn sure you won't get any errors if you use https and remove "cache" from the URL.

Well it should be, but I'd like to have an authoritative statement.

I'm not using the graphics how it is supposed to be used. So I'll better ask.
Don't know what magic is behind the cache.www.gametracker.com

I guess the worst case is a higher (backend)traffic on gametracker.com after the banner is not cached by nginx on gametracker-side.
If I am the only one who's doing this, there shouldn't be any problems. I don't generate that high traffic on my page

But there are maybe some other people who have the same problem and trying to fix that this way.
