Answers.Text: Thank you very much... that helped very much. Yes, on our Dev copy of the site it helped right away. Prod still had issues. I found that with Civi 4.7.x, no longer can we connect the extern/widget.php URL over https://  Over secure protocol, it was rewriting the URL and bringing up a copy of the site homepage.

Oh, and I patched both Drupal.php and Drupal6.php as we run on D6 still.

Body: <p>Upon upgrading from CiviCRM 4.6.x to 4.7.x, the CiviCRM contribution thermometer within a Drupal block stopped functioning. Please see the current state of the block:</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://i.sstatic.net/v512n.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.sstatic.net/v512n.png" alt="enter image description here"></a></p>
  
  <p>I have found some posts that sound related to what we are seeing:</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-17965" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-17965</a></p>
  
  <p><a href="https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-17970" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-17970</a></p>
  
  <p>I posted a reply to the CRM-17965 post as to trying the suggested patch back on CiviCRM 4.7.3, which did not change what we see displayed in the block... however it did achieve the test URL displaying HTML rather than nothing, so I would have hoped for some change in behavior of the actual Drupal block.</p>
  
  <p>Suggestions how to get this resolved?</p>
  
  <p>I am thankful,
  Michael</p>
