I do, but it simply says: "Blocked loading mixed active content "http://blah/blah/something.php?" [Learn More]

Clicking [Learn More] takes me to a generic Mozilla info page and says nothing more about my specific error.

I don't think mixed content refers to CORS at all.  It's saying that you're loading an insecure resource (http://...) from a secure page (https://...).  That makes sense actually.  Itch serves everything from https so you'll need to load your analytics script from a secure server as well.

(The reason for the error, I imagine, is that otherwise the user is misled about the level of security on the page.  It appears to be secure, but in fact it could be attacked by tampering with the insecure script.)

Oh, interesting! I'll try switching to an https URL and see if that helps. Thanks for the tip!

Hrm... changing the request to https: within Unity doesn't change the error shown in the console (still http:). Very odd.

I don't know why that would be, assuming you've cleared your cache and everything.  I haven't used Unity analytics.  What happens if you change it to a completely different https URL?  Do you get the new URL, but with http instead of https?  Do you still get the old URL?  Or does it actually work and you get the new URL with https?

It's not Unity analytics per-se. I'm calling a PHP script on my own server.

I really appreciate your help, by the way, but I'm happy to slowly debug this on my own. If I work out what's up with it I'll post here to let others know.

Hey! Not sure if you still have this issue, I found this thread by looking for a solution myself.

I fixed the "mixed active content" error by switching to UnityWebRequest instead off the WWW class I was using. Seems the WWW thing defaulted to http regardless of what you wrote in the URL. At the same time I forced my server to only accept https, I did these at the same time so I'm not sure if the force https thing is needed. Hope it makes sense :)

That's awesome, thanks!

(No, I never fixed it, I just switched to hosting the game on my own server. The itch.io versions don't upload analytics currently.)
