This bit of arcania has also crept into my RSS feed. As you may know FeedLand is now on HTTPS, it has to be because it’s managing identity for itself, and if a feed item has an image only accessible over HTTP, the browser won’t load it. I guess all feed readers have this problem, and I guess images from Scripting News have always been broken? But this isn’t how I remember it. Hmmm. Maybe they’re doing something special, like accessing the image through a proxy running outside of Chrome’s control. Haha if so holy shit. Either it’s a security problem or it isn’t. I really don’t think images need to be protected, but what do I know. In any case, from this point on, my images will be HTTPS too. #
