Subject: Reference local files via SSL 2004-07-19 - By Taylor, Kevin
Back
I have a Web application that uses SSL to connect to tomcat. But in my JSP
pages, I also reference some media files on the user's local disk (CDROM,
hard drive, etc). These are large images, videos, etc. They are referenced
in the JSP like this: <img src="d:/some_dir/some_image.jpg/> for example.
The problem is that these local references cause the IE browser to display a
dialog warning that some items being loaded are "unsecure". Since this is an
intranet type application that is not available to public use, we don't want
the warnings to be displayed.
I need a way of either having IE reference these local files via SSL, or
make IE think it is referencing them via SSL.
The only thought I had was to install a very lightweight web server on the
user's machine that would serve up these local files via SSL. This, of
course, turns my thin client web application into a sort of thick client in
the sense that we must now support processes running on the user's PC.
Any ideas? Thx in advance.
Kevin
