    The Telerik CDN – Now with SSL support too!

    A not-so-minor drawback of our original CDN implementation was that it didn’t support secure sites. Your application will still work, but the Telerik controls will fall back to the slower Amazon S3 service when an HTTPS request is detected. But that’s a thing of the past! The Amazon CloudFront service now supports HTTPS Access and you can take advantage of it immediately.   Joy all around Simply set the BaseSecureUrl property to the corresponding values for RadScriptManager/RadStyleSheetManager:  <telerik:RadScriptManager ID="RadScriptManager1" runat="server">    <CdnSettings BaseSecureUrl="https://d2i2wahzwrm1n5.cloudfront.net" TelerikCdn="Enabled" /> </telerik:RadScriptManager>   <telerik:RadStyleSheetManager id="RadStyleSheetManager1"  runat="server" >    <CdnSettings BaseSecureUrl="https://d35islomi5rx1v.cloudfront.net" TelerikCdn="Enabled" /> </telerik:RadStyleSheetManager>  You can also do so through the global web.config settings:  <appSettings>  ...

Summary of the new feature Making a quick peek inside the html of RadTreeView with enabled support for WAI-ARIA, one can see the “roles”, “states” and “properties” that the standard requires.
