Twitter oneboxed content breaking ssl

AI-generated summary

The discussion revolves around a Twitter onebox content issue that breaks the HTTPS lock on hosted Discourse forums. watchmanmonitor reported the problem, citing mixed content errors due to images from http://pbs.twimg.com not being served over HTTPS. codinghorror suggested fixing the issue with protocol-independent URLs, but riking pointed out that Twitter is in the HSTS preload lists, making HTTPS the required protocol. techAPJ has since fixed the issue via a commit to the Discourse onebox repository, ensuring that Twitter images are always loaded over HTTPS.

I just posted a twitter link on my hosted discourse, and the page no longer had a nice ssl lock.

I see this:

Mixed Content: The page at 'https://forum.somedomain.com/t/pricing/43/3' was loaded over HTTPS, but requested an insecure image 'http://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/518242033811472386/VKcAQvEB_normal.png'. This content should also be served over HTTPS.

discourse/lib/Markdown.Editor:995 Mixed Content: The page at 'https://forum.somedomain.com/t/pricing/43/3' was loaded over HTTPS, but requested an insecure image 'http://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/518242033811472386/VKcAQvEB_normal.png'. This content should also be served over HTTPS.
ember.prod:3051 Mixed Content: The page at 'https://forum.somedomain.com/t/pricing/43/3' was loaded over HTTPS, but requested an insecure image 'http://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/518242033811472386/VKcAQvEB_normal.png'. This content should also be served over HTTPS.

and I know that all the calls to http://pbs.twimg.com could be https://pbs.twimg.com

Is this a fix that the discourse team can pull off? or is it up to the official twitter setup?

Not sure, is this something that could be fixed in the oneboxer @techapj with protocol independent URLs?

Protocol-independent URLs are incorrect here, it should be HTTPS always - Twitter is in the HSTS preload lists.
