Mixed Content Fixer is a premium phpBB extension by Jakub Senko, an official extensions developer.
- What is the problem?
- You switched your board to secure HTTPS protocol, but your users post images from HTTP sources. That poses a threat to them, because an attacker can replace the image with his own content or use users' data against them.
- How to fix this?
- You as a domain owner should ensure that all content comes from secure origins. But this is difficult with forums, where users create the content. Luckily, there is a technique called HTTP proxy which solves the issue.
- Final solution for forums
- This extension utilizes such a HTTP proxy, replacing insecure images with a special link leading to your own server which downloads and secures the image instead of user's browser. Whatever your users post, you make them safe all the time.
- Any style, any language
- The extension works under the hood - you and your users won't notice anything, regardless of board style and language. Neat, isn't it?
- Lazyloading?
- Using LazyLoad for post images extension? Don't worry, you are covered. Another extension that isn't supported? Just contact author.
