Facebook iFrame app. Do I really need secure url also?

1k Views Asked by At

I've created simple iFrame based fangates in the past with no https url. These all worked fine, only they warned users about switching to insecure url if they were browsing securely. No big deal.

I'm working on another app now and Facebook app settings is telling me that a secure url is required by October 2nd.

I've tested previous apps and they work fine without secure.

Just wondering do I really need a secure url to make another app or will it still work without.

I don't want to have to buy a cert that isn't absolutely needed.

Any experience with this new rule?

Thanks, Conor

Like David Barker said, you have to have an SSL certificate to run an iframe app - tab or canvas. They no longer give users the option to temporarily switch to non-secure browsing.
