Working with .htaccess files

[rinogo]

Hi jeckert!

Thanks for all of your deep research about all of this! And I'd like to give a big, "AH-HAH!":

Now that you've restored the image on that post and refreshed the XML, I'm fairly certain I know what the problem is. Featurific is attempting to load the image located at:

https://xxx/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/foodresize4.jpg

Notice that this image is being accessed via SSL (https://...). HOWEVER, the webpage (and associated FeaturificFree.swf file) are being loaded via an unsecured connection (non-SSL, aka non-https:// (regular http://)). This is causing the image to be inaccessible.

If you access the page via SSL, the problem is fixed!

https://xxx/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/foodresize4.jpg

So, there are a few possible solutions here:
1. Always access the site via https. (not the best solution)
2. Load FeaturificFree.swf via SSL (should fix the problem)
3. Access the image via a non-SSL connection.
4. I'm sure there are other possible solutions.

Do you have any thoughts on which would be easiest to do in your current configuration? A simple change to featurific.php should be enough to implement one of these solutions (except for #1, of course).

I'm glad that everyone is excited about Featurific and the new site!

Hope to hear from you soon,
-Rich
