Peerjs: PeerJS makes a blocked HTTP request when served over HTTPS

Created on 29 Dec 2015 · 2Comments · Source: peers/peerjs

When served over HTTPS, the code new Peer({key: '...'}) generates the error:

Mixed Content: The page at 'https://domain:port/path' was loaded over HTTPS, but requested an insecure XMLHttpRequest endpoint 'http://0.peerjs.com:9000/lwjd5qra8257b9/id?ts=14513993067080.44465259928256273'. This request has been blocked; the content must be served over HTTPS.

I'm using Chrome 47.

Since one must also serve over HTTPS in order to request webcam/microphone, this makes the hosted server a bit useless.

Is there a fix for this? Am I doing something stupid to cause it to make a request over HTTP, or is this PeerJS's error?

It seems that Firefox is no longer an option for mixed content now:

It would have been nice to be able to use the cloud server from peerjs to do some small apps without having to host an own https service with peerjs installed :(

Hi,
It is not PeerJS's error. You have 2 options:

Build your own PeerJS-Server which served over HTTPS
Using Firefox browser

Hope this help
