4gen.js getting blocked when embedding document on SSL page in latest version of Chrome

[hain...@goalbookapp.com]

I am using the javascript API to fetch documents and display them using the html5 viewer. The containing page is displayed using https. It was working fine until recently in Chrome I started seeing this in the console:

[blocked] The page at https://www.scribd.com/embeds/115354367/content_inner?access_key=key-xxxxxxxxxxx&secret_password=xxxxxxxxx&start_page=1 ran insecure content from http://www.scribd.com/javascripts/4gen.js.

1. Uncaught ReferenceError: DocumentManager is not defined content_inner:34

1. Uncaught TypeError: Cannot call method 'setupTestElements' of undefined content_inner:55

1. Uncaught TypeError: Cannot call method 'addPage' of undefined content_inner:117

1. Uncaught TypeError: Cannot call method 'allPagesAdded' of undefined content_inner:146

1. Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'options' of undefined

It appears that the 4gen.js is being referenced using http instead of https, and Chrome blocks it, thus causing subsequent javascript to fail. My javascript code is as follow:

    // prepare the scribd doc

    var scribdDoc = scribd.Document.getDoc(docId, accessKey);

    var onDocReady = function(e) {

      // console.log("ready");

      scribdDoc.api.setPage(1);

    };

    try {

      scribdDoc.addParam("jsapi_version", 2);

      scribdDoc.addParam("use_ssl", true);

      scribdDoc.addParam("page", 1);

      scribdDoc.addParam("mode", "slideshow");

      scribdDoc.addParam("width", "100%");

      scribdDoc.addParam("height", parseFloat(percentage)/100 * modalHeight);

      

      scribdDoc.addEventListener("docReady", onDocReady);

      scribdDoc.write(embeddedDocId);  // the id of the container to hold the previewer

    } catch (e) {

      console.log(e);

    }

This is only failing in Chrome 24. Firefox, Safari, and IE 8 still render the viewer. Anything I'm doing wrong, or any tips or workarounds?

Thanks for reporting.  We've located the issue here and will push out a fix in our next deploy - early next week.
