Resin Northumberland, United Kingdom(Zone 9a) May 20, 2014

If I post a link to a link on a secure website (prefix https), it doesn't work as a link but just redirects to the DG forums page:

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Prunus_padus_Northumberland_2.jpg

Exactly the same link, except with a 'traditional' non-secure link (prefix http) works OK:

http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Prunus_padus_Northumberland_2.jpg

Can DG be upgraded for secure links to work as well?

Thanks!

Resin, I wasn't able to replicate this in test:

Can you tell me what site/page you were trying to link to?

A pic from Wikimedia Commons

Oddly, it doesn't apply to the main page:

If you can come up with an example that won't post properly, let me know and we'll track it down.

I'm not sure why it's doing that, but it seems like it may be something unique to that URL.

It happens with all image files at Wiki Commons; another random sample:

I'll have to see if it's something on our end, or the site's side.
