[Forum] vBulletin V4 upload of a PDF file using https

[hmspain]

My vBulletin system is running V4.2.0 PL2.

PDF file types are allowed for upload.

The entire system is running https://

I attach a PDF file to a posting.

The attachment can only be saved as an "attachment.htm" and never displays.

When reading the thread, I get a popup "Do you want to view only the webpage content that was delivered securely?" "This webpage contains content that will not be delivered using a secure HTTPS connection, which could compromise the security of the entire webpage."

click Yes or click No ... same result, the PDF will not display.

Has anyone seen this? Any workaround (other than just zip the PDFs)?

Those files should have nothing to do with https. Can you pm me a login and a link to your site, I Assume you are some what private as you didn't include the link already.

I PM'd you the URL and a username and password. Thank you!

Still looking for an answer to this one :-).

I used to get that popup alert on this site too when I browse some of posts with images, and also on my work email (Office360 web). If I click Yes which makes more sense, the image won't display, but if I click No, everything displays fine.

So I just changed the security alert under Tools/Internet Options/Security/Custom Level/MISC (Enable: Display mixed content)

Hmmm. In my case, the Yes and No produce the same result for some reason.

I was hoping that Zachery would have a look.

Weird, I thought I sent a response. when I try to download your PDF's I get a http header back for a gif file. I'd really need an admin account to look into things further. Opening a support ticket would be a good idea.
