SSL Images

Hey guys,

Is there a way to craft an HTTPS URL for GB images returned from the API? I noticed if I try this:

https://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/scale_small/8/87790/2293393-box_re6.png

It actually has a bad certificate; i.e. Akamai is serving the image but the cert is for GB, so browsers deny it unless you add an exception.

This is sort of a big deal if you intend to serve your site over SSL.

Any ideas?

@mrpibb any ideas?

We aren't planning to serve content thru SSL currently (that may change in the future). How are you getting to the static https call?

I was just hoping changing the protocol would work.

This essentially precludes the ability for my site to work under SSL, since I can't link to Giantbomb images since browsers won't display them. That leaves me two choices: implement a workaround to not have to use SSL or to cache all the images locally (ugh).

On my end I think I can workaround having to use SSL for the game pages but it would be nice not to have to. It's been 6 months, have you guys re-considered?
