Connection to aladin website fails on AA7 SP1

Post by AstroBernd » 24 Jul 2019, 18:25

I tried to connect to the aladin website from the star atlas or the plate-solved image.
It seems the call to the website uses an outdated http:-call. The aladin website can be accessed via an https: call. e.g.: "https://aladin.u-strasbg.fr/AladinLite/"
Otherwise, very good work on updates and stability.
Thanks a lot, Fabio

Works fine on my setup; AA7 SP1.

Just right-clicked the Atlas, selected "Aladin web site" and got to this page:
http://aladin.u-strasbg.fr/AladinLite/? ... &fov=0.183

Hello Bernd,
it's possible that it depends on the browser, which one are you using? Maybe non-secure http is blocked? What do you see in the browser?
Thanks,
Fabio.

Fabio, it works with http: in my Internet Explorer on a WIn10 machine.
It does NOT work in Internet Explorer on a Win7 Prof machine (my Laptop to run the mount, telescope and camera). I checked the settings side by side but could not find where the difference really is.
I checked out the https: aladin site and it works equally well. i would rather work on the https site, but will still compare settings to find the difference.
Thanks for the help so far
Bernd

Fabio, it doesn't work for me, W10 professional and Edge.
I think that it could depend on the link that uses http instead of https. I checked changing http:// with https:// and works correctly.

Hello, I cannot reproduce with my browsers, but I changed the link to https in Service Pack 2 alpha, if you need a prerelase just write by email or PM.
Thanks, Fabio.
