[amelzer]

Type of issue

Feature Request / Bug

Description

latest.json is currently requested over http which leads to some browsers blocking the request if the prebid bundle with currency module is used in a site being servedwith https

Steps to reproduce

1. Build prebid bundle with currency modules
2. Use in a site with https
3. pbjs.setConfig({ currency: { adServerCurrency: 'EUR' } })

Expected results

Currency conversion can be set up

Actual results

Currency conversion can not be set up.

Platform details

e.g. Chrome Browser

Other information

Tied to #1843 as failing to set up currency conversion leads to prebid not working at all (no bid responses at all)

That's more than fixing one symbol unfortunately... (I think). Whole prebid.org will have to be put on SSL.

That's right. We are in the process of obtaining a cert for this. Stay tuned.

This is a known issue as noted in the doc. Issue #1834 was directly tied to our being able to fix this feature. The plan is to make it happen early in January.

Ironic that stale-bot closed this at just about the same time we were launching the feature.

Good news -- https://currency.prebid.org/latest.json is now available.

Should we use conversionRateFile parameter to use https URI instead of the http one or Prebid will guess it automatically (and from which version)?
