SSL compliance

[jp_gsap_0324]

I am woking on a banner campaign using TweenLite with Sizmek as the ad management company, and the ads failed QA because of ssl compatibility issues related to http (not https) references.  I had a look around and found two http references in the CSSPlugin.min.js I tried simply swapping http for https, but it broke the code.  Just wondering if anyone has had this issue, and if there are any solutions.

Thanks

Hello jp_gsap_0324, and Welcome to the GreenSock Forum!

 

Hmm. the only references i see in the CSSPlugin.min.js .. is for the check Jack is doing with namespace URI check for svg elements.

 

It is just a namespace URI for createElementNS Making sure the SVG namespace URI is valid when creating an SVG element.

X.createElementNS("http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml",t)

Interesting why this would throw an error, since it is just a namespace URI for the SVG check?

Jack could shed more light on this?

Does your office have a Creative Solutions Engineer contact at Sizmek?  They should be able to provide you with the Sizmek Greensock CDN links which should not fail QA.

Thanks so much for getting back to me!  I just passed this along to my contact at Sizmek, I'll let you know what they say.

Yep, Jonathan is exactly right - that's merely a namespace. It doesn't actually load anything...ever. And that's the standard way you're supposed to be declaring the namespace when creating DOM nodes. If Sizmek objects, please have them contact us because we'd love to chat about how they'd recommend changing that or what specifically they're concerned about. 

 

By the way, we have spoken directly to Sizmek and they're very GSAP-friendly and even said they're hosting GSAP on their CDN (as indicated in our article at http://greensock.com/html5-banners/#networks), so I'm pretty sure that if you escalate the issue you'll find someone there who is aware of that and can get your ad approved and/or pointing to the right file(s).

The elephant in the room question to ask is: are you including Greensock in your Sizmek workspace or are you referring to it via CDN? And if is CDN, did you use the https option?

 

I once was caught on that, because the default cloudflare CDN address was http, not https.

Hey everybody, thanks for all the information.  I ended up getting in touch with a contact at Sizmek, and just like it was mentioned above, they are *very* GSAP friendly and do host GSAP libraries on their CDN - here are the links to TweenLite js files in case anyone needs them:

Thanks again!

Thank you for posting the links, jp_gsap. I was looking for exactly these and would've had to ask somebody to ask somebody to ask somebody. You know how it goes.

 

One question, though- is there any benefit to using Sizmek's CDN over GSAP's? If one is more likely to already be cached on an end user's computer, I would think that would be the one to use. Though it's hard to know which would be the more common of the two.

[Dipscom]

It is my understanding that: No. There is not any particular benefit for us or the end users to use Sizmek's CDN over GSAP's. Having said that, for Sizmek (and any other ad platform) there is a very big difference. Security and control. With their CDN, they can make sure that their level of security is up to their standard and what is there is what is said to be there.

[Guest hollyc]

Very true. And though they haven't explicitly asked for their links in their specs yet, they may down the road. If there is no difference for us and the end user, then I see no reason to not start using Sizmek's links now. Thanks.

Carl, what do you think about putting jp_gsap_0324's answer in the Sizmek CDN thread and pinning it? It would make it easier for people to spot and grab the urls. 

 

I find myself coming here to grab the CDN links for both Sizmek and DoubleClick.

Hi Dipscom,

 

I look forward to promoting the news of Sizmek publishing their GSAP CDN links, but for whatever reason it seems they want to keep them private.
