[Plugin: WP-HTML-Compression] Version 0.5.1: iframe links are broken – YouTube does not work

It works fine, it’s just that some websites set themselves up to not load within frames.

Try doing <iframe src="https://google.com/"></iframe>, it won’t work either.

Sorry, that was my fault. I have chosen and example which did not allow embedding to show the error ??

But now: Try

<iframe style="border: 1px solid #cccccc;" width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/7Q2zxBTnjUo?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

This works!

<iframe style="border: 1px solid #cccccc;" width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/7Q2zxBTnjUo" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Does not work!

Both examples work fine here. Outside of a browser bug, there’s no reason why an “https://” would work and a “//” would not, because the browser resolves it to absolute when the location is changed.

Well, my example wasn’t correct again ??

I just checked it with Firefox and Safari on a Mac and with IE on Windows: none of the browsers showed the movie as soon as the plugin was enabled. So it does not seem to be a browser problem.

Looking closer at the code I found out, that the problem is not the missing http: but a missing www.:

I just checked the code again and a:

<iframe style="border: 1px solid #cccccc;" width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/7Q2zxBTnjUo?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

actually becomes a

<iframe style="border: 1px solid #cccccc;" width="560" height="315" src="//youtube-nocookie.com/embed/7Q2zxBTnjUo?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Notice the missing www. before the domain. Without the www. the url-calls on the server youtube-nocookie.com do not work.

So the plugin accidentally removes the www. before the url, which causes the not working movies. I wonder why it’s removing the www. which is definately wrong in this case.

Ah, there we go ?? thanks

I guess incorrectly configured servers are more popular than I had thought. I’ll have to disable the “ignore www” feature by default, then.

Great, that I got it on the third run ??

I just replaced the two appearances of $ignore_www=true in absolute-to-relative-urls.php into false and now the videos are back again.

Yep. Fixed in 0.5.2

Thank you! Works!
