Https now available for albums hosted here

I have now made it possible to load an album using https if it is hosted here, for example https://anca.jalbum.net/Sample%20Portfolio/ .
So skin developers might now want to make sure that all external resources are loaded using https, for example jQuery files. (And using https becomes more and more common also for users having their own website, so making the skin support https is a good idea anyway.)

I will possibly also enable https for the jalbum.net-site very soon. Currently you can load the profile using https (https://anca.jalbum.net/) but you won't see anything since the rest of the page is loaded using http.

Looks like it's working nicely. :)

In case anyone's wondering, even if you want to load pages with http:, there's no penalty for calling your external resources (like jQuery, Google fonts, YouTube videos) with https:, so you might as well just use https: for all of those, in any event.

A browser complains only when the page is called with https:, but there are http: calls within the page. The other way around, no problem.

Great! :)

Normally one could just remove the http: from urls to external resources, so they start with //. Then the same method will be used as the page itself is fetched with. But that won't work with skin templates since local preview then won't work, since those pages are fetched using file:...

Yeah, I ran into that one with Google Analytics almost three years ago. It failed in a very non-graceful way. GA has since wised up, and uses https:// instead of just //.
