How can I get around “mixed active content” highch

Question

It appears you cannot use Exporting with https, because of "mixed active content" error.

Blocked loading mixed active content "http://export.highcharts.com/"

You can see this problem by viewing one of the Highmaps demos:

This (http) works: http://jsfiddle.net/gh/get/jquery/1.9.1/highslide-software/highcharts.com/tree/master/samples/maps/demo/distribution/

This (https) doesn't: https://jsfiddle.net/gh/get/jquery/1.9.1/highslide-software/highcharts.com/tree/master/samples/maps/demo/distribution/

Is there any way to allow Exporting to work with an https page?

Answer 1

The exporting URL defaults to 'http://export.highcharts.com'. You can manually set it to use https for the same address.

In code (updated JSFiddle):

exporting: {
    url: 'https://export.highcharts.com'
}
