top.location from iframe with src ssl

[Amzul]

hello all.

is there a way to get the window.top.loca tion if the current location is https://...?

parent.html will call am iframe with src="https://www.testtest.co m/sun.html"

sun.html
should alert the url that opened it.

without the https its working.

is there a way?

thanks

Is it from the same domain?

[Amzul]

no, its not
the parent can be http://www.google.com
the iframe can be https://www.aol.com

[acoder]

Normally, http wouldn't be allowed cross-domain either. Are you testing locally?

[Amzul]

thanks for you patines,
not sure what you mean by localy :\
i just buikd the iframe and i want other websites to use it,
i also want to know what wbsite uses it
still no one use it

[Amzul]

no edit :\

i just test it and its not working even in http :(
not sure what i saw that i thought it did.

anyway is there a away to round it?

[acoder]

Yes, that's what I thought. There are ways around it. One is to serve the page from your domain, e.g. by using Curl. If you control both domains, there was a recent thread that you could look at. If I find it, I'll post it here.

Curl is a nice idea and it might even work :) but i only have control over the iframe and not on the pages that will call it, i am not even sure that its php page that will call it.

i know i can always ask to attached the domain to the iframe src and then
window.location .search
but i dont want to trust other for my logs.
i want my code to be able to do that

[acoder]

In that case, it's not going to work. The way Curl would've worked is that you control the main page domain and serve the iframe content from your domain.

[Amzul]

beside curl, is there away?

[acoder]

Perhaps what you can do is have the sites include your iframe via a script, so the script would create the iframe and pass on the URL to the src.

[Amzul]

yeah good idea
thanks acoder
