I have the latest update. Gyfcat links do not embed on posts.

Using firefox : i can see the preview in the composer but not in the thread as even discourse is having similar issue from my side at-least.

used `http://gfycat.com/FirsthandMeekAfricanaugurbuzzard`

I just looked into it, this issue is only occuring on SSL enabled instances because of a change introduced by Gfycat.

Gfycat is no longer serving iframe content (in oEmbed) over secure connection (`HTTPS`), hence SSL enabled Discourse instances are giving following error when trying to onebox Gfycat link:

```plaintext
Mixed Content: The page at 'https://meta.discourse.org/t/gyfcat-onebox-bug/35916/3' was loaded over HTTPS, but requested an insecure resource 'http://gfycat.com/ifr/FirsthandMeekAfricanaugurbuzzard'. This request has been blocked; the content must be served over HTTPS.

```

oEmbed URL: [http://gfycat.com/cajax/oembed/FirsthandMeekAfricanaugurbuzzard](http://gfycat.com/cajax/oembed/FirsthandMeekAfricanaugurbuzzard)

The proper fix for this is that Gfycat should be serving iframe over HTTPS. I will try to bring this issue in their notice.

The last option would be to create a custom Gfycat onebox, where I will have to force the Gfycat iframe URL to be served over HTTPS.

With the new update can we onebox gfycat now on HTTPS?
