Unsafe scripts in LabVIEW online help?

[altenbach]

While most online help pages are clean, some help pages seems to try to load unauthenticated scripts:

What's that all about?

Examples:

Vision and Motion VIs and Functions 

Actor Framework VIs 

... and many more....

Thanks for reaching out altenbach.  You linked to https versions of the pages.  The pages are attempting to load javascript files (like glang.chm::/helpserver.js) that support advanced features on the page.  Currently, some of those scripts haven't been migrated to https, which is what caused the Chrome warning.  If you load the page in http, you won't get the warning.

We are working towards making the site fully https compliant, meaning everything loads from a https source, but we aren't 100% there yet.  Simultaneously, others, especially Google, are putting pressure on sites to be 100% https complaint via Chrome warnings and Google search penalties.

I'll follow up on getting these scripts to be https compliant.

I can't really tell any difference in the look of the page before and after allowing unauthenticated scripts. Must be very subtle. Hard to say why these scripts are even needed. 😉

(Oh yes, I am aware of the more and more overzealous security warnings as google continues tightening the rules, but I am sure they are good to enforce on questionable websites. 🐵
