The Movie Database Support

Hi, I am using the API for loading some backdrop images using the configuration API. However, during development, I get a series of GET request errors shown in the link below.

Image of errors

The thing is, it doesnt happen all the time, but at random times making it hard to debug. Can anyone explain what is happening here? At the moment, the image url is being used to dynamically load backdrop images into an element in React.

Hi @mikey123555,

My understanding based on this article I found it that it's more to do with how you're accessing your development app and Chrome not liking mixed content. Are you accessing it locally over SSL, or over just over plain HTTP? I assume HTTP?

If that's the case, for dev, you should switch your image calls to be just HTTP. If you end up deploying this in production on an SSL end point, you should then switch your image calls to HTTPS.

Ah, so Im actually using localhost on port 3000. So would this be plain HTTP then? Should I then modify the image call url to be HTTP instead?

Correct, HTTP in dev.

Okay so I took your advice and tried two things:

1) I changed my dev server to HTTPS, but still got the same error. 2) I changed the image url to HTTP and left the dev server alone, and still got the error.

Here is the console log, showing the new image src urls and the continuing error:

Any thoughts?

I'm afraid I don't. You'll have to dig into what's actually causing the error in Chrome. I've never seen it so I am not sure.
