Facebook Connect over https

I want users to be able to use Facebook Connect on MY website. And I dont want IE to throw a popup that not all items were delivered securely. This means Facebook has to return code over https to me as well. See this site to see the issue in action: https://www.ticketwise.nl/123

The related issue can be found here: Determining which content was delivered securely and which wasn't

So my questions are:

  1. Is Facebook Connect possible over https?
  2. if so: which integration method should I use?
Solution

  • Yes its possible. You need to ensure you have a working SSL certificate and then you can log into your Facebook account, go to the Developer application and set a secure URL.

    That fixed the warnings for me. However you MUST buy an SSL cert and make sure that is correctly setup. I like GoDaddy's $12.99 SSL certificates: just search in Google and then click the first ad they have.
