Re: [Cppcms-users] Embedded local HTTPS server

[william l. <we...@gm...>]

Hi, the use case behind this problem is:
we will have a real website, which is HTTPS.
Also, we will have a local app running with embedded HTTPS service.
The real HTTPS website page will use JSONP to request local embedded HTTPS
server for local machine specific datas.

We cannot use local HTTP server to handle the JSONP, because it is not
allowed to  JSONP from HTTPS to HTTP.  It will pop up mix content warning
every time when request :(

thanks,
William L.
