ugh, related issue: expando can't even be opened if you're using HTTPS, because Chrome complains about mixed content.

@honestbleeps RESUtils could have a strict match on HTTPS and expandos could check if the host they are attempting to expand is HTTP and open the link in a new tab instead? Could even have a mini expando text explaining why. Seems like a better solution over silently failing. Might be more complicated than it sounds though.

There's certainly a precedent for "RES could not open this image. Click here to open it."

I worked on support for gamespot video. Here the same issue applies.

I did send them a ticket about https support, but with no reply yet.

A feature for detection of this would be nice, then I could finish support for the expando.

Clyp co-founder/developer here. For anyone who's familiar with the issue, is this something I can fix on my end? I could listen for an event that fires when the widget element is no longer visible and then subsequently pause the audio file. This would fix this issue, but would cause other problems. For example, if the widget is embedded on someones blog, the user then clicks play and scrolls down the page to look at more content, the the audio file would pause when out of view. I think the result of this hypothetical change would be worse than the situation we're in right now.

I'm thinking a better solution would be to totally remove the widget from the DOM when collapsing the expando.

Thoughts?

@honestbleeps this shouldn't be an issue anymore as we're now 100% HTTPS.

@jpatapoff I agree, removing the DOM would be a good solution.

Fixed.
