This is a rewrite solution.

It is simply is a redirection. You can make a tunneling ASP (may be) that allows you to redirect that ASP page like changing all www.youtube.com to https://yoursecuresite/yoursecuredir/youtube.asp?url= etc.
So try Response.Redirect method in that youtube.asp

SiSl,

I'm not sure how that works because I need to embed the flash script in the HTTPS page. I don't think a response.redirect will tunnel this. Do you?<

I think it might...
If I were you, I'd try making a default embed code, instead of URL of youtube, make embedded object src to your own ASP with a variable... Then in your own ASP, try make it fake content-type Response.ContentType = "flash/swf" or whatever it is.. Then just response.Redirect to original content...
It works with images why not objects

So I made a sample for you, could not get video to load may be (certainly will look into it) yet, I can embed player with no notification...

As for ASP code, I used for now:

Code:

<% Response.ContentType = "application/x-shockwave-flash" 
Response.Redirect("http://www.youtube.com/v/" & request("url") & "&hl=en")
Response.Flush
Response.End
%>

On the other hand, you can just use new player such as JW player to embed youtube vids in it.
Another method to use APACHE version fix with ISAPI_Rewrite from Helicontech<

If you don't want users to have to strip off the actual video code from the YouTube URL, then you need to change your Response. Redirect to something like this:

Code:


Response.Redirect("http://www.youtube.com/v/" & right(Request.Form("url"),11) & "&hl=en")

That way, you paste the entire link into your request box without having to remember 11 scrambled characters.<

Also, it will give you access denied errors unless you eliminate the Response.ContentType line.
Here, this will allow you to use an input script for the video url (strvurl) and it'll work. You'll still get the "insecure" message, but it'll play in a secure website. You cannot use https for the preface to youtube, it isn't a secure site.

Code:


%>
<object width="425" height="355">
<param name="movie" value="<%=strvurl%>"></param>
<param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param>
<param name="autostart" value="true"></param>
<param name="autoplay" value="true"></param>
<param name="transparentatstart" value="true"></param>
<param name="codebase" value=""></param>
<param name="codetype" value="application/x-shockwave-flash"></param>
<embed src="<%=strvurl%>" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed>
</object>
<%

For a functional YouTube page for your forum, get it here:
http://98.25.191.199/youtube.txt

This has limited use, in my opinion. You would need to know all of the YouTube video addresses, and if you've gone there to get them, you can more easily watch them there.<
