URL not showing up
lucasbrechot1 opened this issue · 6 comments
Hi,
I have deployed in partnership with a city organisation beacons equipped with physical web (Eddystone URLs) in the urban space in order to enable passengers to access citizen services.
However although I can detect the beacons walking by, I do not detect the physical web urls on my phone.
An example url is: https://iotct.io/ClRa8
Do you know what is causing this problem?
Thank you for letting me know
Hey, your URL does not validate with this unofficial validator: https://beaufortfrancois.github.io/sandbox/physical-web/url-validator/
Every resource on the target URL has to have a valid https certificate! I suggest trying a specialized tool like Beeem for your beacon landing pages.
Hi!
Thank you very much for your reply! I am not clear what you mean by "Every resource on the target URL has to have a valid https certificate", does it mean that every link included on the landing page needs to be https?
No, every URL that it forwards to until the final page has to be https. So if you use a https://bit.ly to forward to an http://xyz.com page it will not accept it. I assume that the final page has to be a fully valid https page meaning there can be no http images or javascript on it.
@bradmurray You are not correct. Any URL can be HTTP until the final URL. And every resource on the final URL (for example: images, css) has to be HTTPs. You can put http links into the page, but the page content has to be exclusively https.
@ferencbrachmann Understood! Thank you for the information!
