While in the admin area, https is broken for certain tabs because Integrated Video Tutorials loads images in the Help section over http. This is only if the "Add Videos to Contextual Help" option is set to Yes. For example, the following image is loaded in the Dashboard page: http://videos.wpmudev.org/videos/quickpress.jpg
Please correct so it doesn't break https in my admin area. Thanks. :)

That is in an iframe from our site, what kind of warning are you getting? And what browser are you using?
If it can be changed it would have to be changed API side, but don't think it's possible because they are hosted on S3 which doesn't allow https for CNAMES.
I'm running Chrome 15. While I'm not getting errors, the green lock on the address bar turns into a yellow one with a warning sign (see this). I know exactly what causes this, but as we have users who aren't so technically savvy, they might be a little spooked to see that warning. Security is on everyone's mind these days.
Yeah, I don't think you can have https with cname. The only way is via the standard offering, with the S3 url fully exposed. I personally don't think that's an issue if the bucket contains only a bunch of harmless images or videos in them. Very few people would even notice (or care) that it's coming from S3 anyway, and those who pay attention already knew that you're hosting it in S3. (The AWSAccessKeyId kinda gives that away.) :)
For now, I have to disable this feature as I don't want to spook out our users. Even though I think it's a useful feature to have the videos right in the help section.

Hiya!
Yes, I can see that might cause an issue.
I'll have the developer look into getting that fixed.
Thanks,
Phil

I'm having the same issue.
Lead Developer — 13th December 2011 (5 months ago) #
I'll see what I can do API side.

Ok, can you guys test it now? I revert to https urls when called from https.
