Hi @ all,

I´m using Recaptcha (AJAX API). I use it with the GoogleWebToolKit.
It works fine via SSL in all Browsers, besides the InternetExplorer.

I implemented a Recaptcha-Widget, to use it with GWT. I don´t have any
idea why this is not working in IE.

I read that there are some problems using Recpatcha via SSL in IE.
Does anybody know a solution, or a workaround, to get it displayed in
IE??

Thanks for your help.

Hi,

This might be due to a recent SSL certificate change; see the announcement here:

http://groups.google.com/group/recaptcha-announce/browse_thread/thread/c1ff6844420c9e63

You need to make a simple code change, documented in the link above,
to change your reCAPTCHA URLs to
https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api/.... Then everything will be
fine.

The https://api-secure.recaptcha.net servers have been deprecated for
over half a year, and you need to move to the new Google servers if
you wish to use reCAPTCHA over SSL.

Best,
the reCAPTCHA team

Hi,

thanks for your reply, but I already moved to the Google servers.
I already read this announcement, but the problems seems to be,
that IE just makes the widget disappear, because IE doesn´t trust
this content.

As I said before, this problem only appears in IE, not in FF, Chrome,
Safari ...

Any ideas?

Thanks.

What happens if you view the reCAPTCHA demo page using SSL in IE:

https://www.google.com/recaptcha/demo/

Are there any certificate warnings or other errors? Does the CAPTCHA
image show up OK?

Everything works fine, even in IE.
So, I guess I´m doing something wrong. But I would like to know, what I
´m doing wrong.
I mean, it´s working in all other browsers.

Hi @ all,

ok, I found the solution for my problem. As I said before, I´m using
GWT to implement a AJAX WebApp. There is a gwt-recaptcha project.
In the code of this project, there´s a class, where the JavaScript
code
is implemented. For example the Recaptcha.create... method is called
here.

The https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api/.... import statement was in
the
GWT project and exactly this was the problem with IE. Every browser
knew where
this library is, but IE couldn´t find it.

So what I did, I importet the library via the <sorcce> tag in my main
html-page
and wrote a js-function that calls the Recaptcha.create method. I
changed the
Recaptcha-GWT-Widget, and now it´s working in all browsers.
