Hi WikiPathways,
Could you support HTTPS in the SPARQL endpoint (
http://sparql.wikipathways.org)? Among other benefits, this would enable SPARQL queries directly from JavaScript in a web browser.
It seems CORS is enabled, which is great and necessary. However, many browsers prohibit "
mixed content" -- i.e. loading HTTP resources from an HTTPS domain -- because it is insecure. My use case for querying the SPARQL endpoint directly from the browser involves
an ideogram web component for gene search recommendations. More use cases are certainly feasible.
Steps to reproduce a minimal use case:
2. Open your web browser's Developer Tools (DevTools)
3. Go to Console panel in DevTools
4. Execute this sample code:
5. Note error message:
8. Execute steps 2 - 4
9. Note no error
The expected behavior is to see no error in step 5.
Thanks for considering this enhancement to widen the audience for WikiPathways!
Best regards,
Eric
