Unsupported jQuery code

[kmario23]

Description

I have a small piece of jQuery code that basically does the following:

• pulls content from a text file that is hosted on a URL
• after parsing the contents, it generates a random number
• then it chooses a piece of text based on the generated random index.
• Finally, it populates a div with the selected content from the step above.

Steps to Reproduce

1. add jQuery plugin
   <script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.5.1.min.js" ...> </script>
2. include jQuery code in a separate .js file with contents, something like:

var ZITAT_FILE_URL = 'http://kmario23.github.io/zitat/zitate.txt';
$.get(ZITAT_FILE_URL, function(data) {
        var zitat_list = data.split('\n');
        var random_id = Math.floor(Math.random() * (zitat_list.length -1));
        $('#zitatdiv').html(zitat_list[random_id]);
        });

Include a div named <div id="zitatdiv"> </div> somewhere in an HTML file.

This isn't a bug. The issue is that you're requesting an insecure resource ("http://kmario23.github.io/zitat/zitate.txt") from a secure/https page. If you change your code to request https://kmario23.github.io/zitat/zitate.txt (note https) instead of http://kmario23.github.io/zitat/zitate.txt (what you have currently) everything will be 👍

thanks a lot @pes10k! That did the trick. Why aren't we allowed to request contents over networks that send unencrypted contents? Could you please provide some refs to read more on this?
