  [activereports_archive]We have the setup where HTTPS is proxied (the web site url is https but the connection to the web server is http). This causes the Mixed Content error:
  
  jquery:1 Mixed Content: The page at ‘https://…’ was loaded over HTTPS, but requested an insecure XMLHttpRequest endpoint ‘http://…/ActiveReports.ar10…’. This request has been blocked; the content must be served over HTTPS.
  
  The report service is being called as http:// even thought the report service url is set as https:// in the View.

  Following the suggestion in the following thread almost solves the problem in that the viewer now displays the report: http://arhelp.grapecity.com/groups/topic/using-active-reports-web-viewer-behind-a-reverse-proxy/
  
  $.ajaxPrefilter(function (options, originalOptions, jqXHR) {
  
  if (options.type == “GET” && options.url.startsWith(‘http://’))
  
  options.url = options.url.replace(‘http://’, ‘https://’);
  
  });

  However images in the report still try to load via http as does clicking the print or any of the export buttons:
  
  Loading mixed (insecure) display content “http://…;Command=DelayedResource;ImageId=…” on a secure page
  
  Blocked loading mixed active content “http://…Command=Export&ExportType=Pdf&PrintOnOpen=True&Generation=1”

  Thanks for the help[/activereports_archive]

  Hope that helps.

  [activereports_archive]Just tried it in the web.config but it did not making any difference.

  The messages are still the same: “Loading mixed (insecure) display content “http://…” no matter what I put in for publicURI. It is as if this setting is not being applied…
  
  The viewer is setup in the View like this:
  
  viewer = GrapeCity.ActiveReports.Viewer({
  
  element: ‘#viewer’,
  
  reportService: {
  
  url: ‘@Url.Content(“~/ReportService.asmx”)’
  
  },
  
  I also tried giving it the full url here (‘https://sitename.com/ReportService.asmx’) but got same results.[/activereports_archive]

  [activereports_archive]I tried unblocking in Firefox but viewer still throws an error, firebug shows “loading mixed content” messages, but get shows as aborted: GET http://sitename.com/ActiveReports.ar10?Token=c47c3..&Generation=1&WebViewerControlClientId=html5viewer&HtmlViewer=true&Page=1&ie=1472741…
  
  As before, the viewer shows how many pages there are and left and right buttons seem to work but the pages are not visible and print and export buttons don’t work (“get” show up as aborted in firebug).[/activereports_archive]

  [activereports_archive]Hello ,

  please try to add accesspoint attribute in addition to publicURI:

  
  <webservice accessPoint="http...servicename.asmx" publicURI=”https://sitename/"></webservice>
  
  

  if it won’t help, then we need a sample of project and steps to reproduce for this issue.

  Thanks,

  [activereports_archive]In my web.config the ActiveReports10 section was in a sectionGroup. It needed to be directly under configSections for the publicUri setting to take effect. It works now. Thank you![/activereports_archive]

  Hello,

  Could you please try with the last build of AR9 as some change has been done in this build regarding the same.
  
  http://cdn.grapecity.com/ActiveReports/ar9/hotfixes/ActiveReports-v9.5.7547.0.msi

  Also,Please note that AR9 is a legacy product now. It is out of maintenance mode now. Hence, we do not provide support for the same or no bug fixing will be done in the same. I would recommend you use the latest version of ActiveReports i.e ActiveReports 14. Please refer to the following link for more information: https://www.grapecity.com/activereports.

  Thanks,
  
  Mohit

  Hello Gayathri,

  In AR14, the rendering system of WebViewer is totally changed. In my understanding, it should work without any doing additional setting as we are doing in the previous version. Could you please try with the trial version of AR14 and if problem occurs, please let me know and share the screenshot of the error.

  I would be more than happy to help you.

  You can download the product samples at the following location:

  Thanks,
  
  Mohit
