Waiting for c328740.ssl.cf1.rackcdn.com ...

[Dave Hicks]

It is being used directly:

Quote:When the the MathJax CDN is accessed via the address http://cdn.mathjax.org, data is downloaded over a regular, insecure HTTP connection. This introduces a security risk, since it is possible a hostile 3rd party could intercept the MathJax program data, and replace it. This is sometimes called a man-in-the-middle attack.

To prevent such attacks, it is necessary to access the MathJax CDN over a secure HTTPS connection. This can be done easily by using the following <script> tag instead of the one listed above:

Code:


<script type="text/javascript"
  src="https://c328740.ssl.cf1.rackcdn.com/mathjax/latest/MathJax.js?config=TeX-AMS-MML_HTMLorMML">
</script>

Currently, the Rackspace service used by the MathJax CDN does not support the use of a human-friendly name like cdn.mathjax.org for secure connections; however, the address given above is stable and safe to use.
