Webviewer In Filemaker WebDirect


My webviewer works perfectly in FM Pro Adv, but I have assigned my solution to a URL, which works as expected, my problem is now the Web Viewer doesn't display in the page when using Web Direct.

I'm trying to display Instagram pages, the protocol for the Instagram website its HTTPS, but my URL that I use to display me Web Direct solution is unsecured.

Is this whats causing the issue? If so is there a simple fix? I've been doing alot of reading but the only workarounds I can see are very heavy.


Solution

  • Yes, most browsers will block iframe content that does not match the parent protocol because of a mixed-content violation. As WebDirect is served in an iframe container in browsers, this is the expected result.

    You need to set up your web server with an SSL certificate and serve your page using HTTPS. Many hosting providers have this option in their control panel or you may have to roll your own solution.
