Question

All photo URLs in the FQL photo table are HTTP-URLs and not HTTPS-URLs. It’s not possible to rewrite the URL with https instead of http. How do I do to get the HTTPS-URLs instead?

Why:

Internet Explorer is warning users with a pop-up when they load a HTTPS page which includes objects with HTTP-URLs. Since Facebook requires apps to have HTTPS support and since Facebook supports Internet Explorer fully (I guess but I’m actually not sure about this), there should be a way to get HTTPS-URLs to photos.

Example FQL query:

SELECT pid, src_small FROM photo WHERE pid IN (‘xxx’);

Answer 1

In your API call, add a return_ssl_resources=1 parameter, which will cause the image URLs to come back as HTTPS URLs
