I am opening a popup which is under https from a web page which is under http. When I try to use the command window.opener.location.(href/str/port/domain.. etc) from the pop-up to get the url of the opener page, I get a 'Permission Denied'. Ive also been using Firebug on Firefox to test this out. Is there any way I can by pass this by using another command or doing something else. If I open the opener url under https, then I am able to access it from the pop-up. I am guessing this has to be with being on a secure port as compared to a non-secure one. I was thinking that this should be possible since I am trying to get the information of a non-secure page from a secure page.
Basically, I am trying to scan the url of the opener page and check if it contains a certain substring, I want to perform a certain function. Any alternative suggestions to achieving this would also be appreciated.
