Vaadin BrowserFrame not displaying HTTPS sources

Vaadin 6 / 7 / 8
1

I can’t seem to get a Vaadin(7) BrowserFrame to open https sources, and am struggling to understand why that might be. With http:// sources the web page is opened just fine, but I just get a blank page when using a https://www.google.co.uk; tcpdump shows that the a request was served, but it’s not displayed in the browser window.

class BrowserWindow extends Window {
BrowserWindow(URI externalUri) {
center()
setClosable(false)
setDraggable(false)
setResizable(false)
setSizeFull()
setModal(true)

    def ex = new ExternalResource(externalUri.toString())
    BrowserFrame browser = new BrowserFrame("Browser", ex)
    browser.setSizeFull()
    content = browser
}

}

It works just fine with:

    getUI().getCurrent().addWindow(new BrowserWindow("http://www.truespeed.com")

but not with

    getUI().getCurrent().addWindow(new BrowserWindow("https://www.google.co.uk")

Does anyone know why that might be?

I’m having the same problem. The BrowserFrame has the https refrence embedded but it doesn’t actually open it. Getting a MixedContent error looking at the Newtork log in the Firefox development tools. :frowning:
