“Mixed content blocked” when running an HTTP AJAX operation on an HTTPS page

7 June 2021 in JavaScript tagged Content-Security-Policy / http / https / upgrade-insecure-requests by Tux

Recently, we got a peculiar error on an HTTPS website while making Ajax requests.
Even though the website was full HTTPS, the Ajax request using a relative path was getting the “Mixed content blocked” error message.
To resolve this issue fast (without messing with the Javascript code), we added the following meta tag in the website’s header.

<meta http-equiv="Content-Security-Policy" content="upgrade-insecure-requests">

Sign language versus Voice

5 June 2021 in Funny tagged funny / sign language / voice by Tux

Sign language has a faster transmission speed than voice as it travels with the speed of light (299.792.458 m/s) while the voice travels at the speed of sound in air (343 m/s). Unfortunately, sign language cannot produce a lot of data per second (unless of course, you are Hatake Kakashi – はたけカカシ) and so it cannot take advantage of its bandwidth. On the other hand, the voice can use a bigger part of its available bandwidth and can achieve a bigger overall throughput in most cases.
