image tag secure vs. non-secure

[pamh555]

My company is getting ready to send site visitors without JavaScript enabled to a page indicating that we are no longer supporting non-JavaScript browsing. I was asked to provide an image tag that would allow us to see how many visitors landed on that page.

The developers are now asking me two questions:

1. Can we just send all data to the secure image tag ["https://smetrics..." rather than "http://metrics..."]?
2. And, can we just send "//smetrics..."?

I have been unable to find documentation about this.

Thanks!

Hi Pam,

Thank you for reaching out to Adobe Community.

You can refer to the Connecting different implementations doc for this.

Hi Shekhar,

Unfortunately that document did not answer my questions. Let me try to clarify.

Will it work if you have a secure image tag [example: <img src="https://smetrics.omniture.com/b/ss/omniturecom/5"/>] on a non-secure page like http://test.com, or do you have to use a non-secure image tag [example: <img src="http://metrics.omniture.com/b/ss/omniturecom/5" />]?

My second question is will the image tag work correctly if you do not include the http or https [example: <img src="//smetrics.omniture.com/b/ss/omniturecom/5" />]?

My IT department wants to implement per the example imbedded on this line [example: <img src="//smetrics.omnture.com/b/ss/omniturecome/5" />] for all pages across the site and I am wanted to be sure that it will work in all instances.

Thanks!

Hi There,

Thanks for your reply.

As per my knowledge the secure image tag would not work with a non secure page and vice-versa. The image request would break.

To answer your second question by default the image tag would contain http:// and it has to be there.

Thanks!

Hi

1. Every file needs to be hosted on secure gateway specially s_code.

2. You can use <NOScript> tags to trigger image from javascript disable pages.
