Secure page problem

I have a problem with a page I am trying to secure. It has a flash object
as well as a couple of 3rd party objects used for tracking use of the page.
I keep getting a message saying that there are unsecure items on the page.
I assume this is because of some absolute URL paths. But one of them
doesn't cause the problem and it also has an absolute URL in it.

The first 2 cause an error:

This one doesn't cause an error but it also has 2 absolute URLs in it.

By secure I assume that you are moving on to https.
If so, some components, as I could see, are coming from http, and hence the
issue.

Right.

But the 3rd object also has http://www.providesupport.com?messenger=ftshr
and there doesn't seem to be a problem there?

Is there a way around the http problem on a secure page (ssl/https)?

All of our pages come from templates that have these objects on them and
would like the pages to look the same on the secure pages.

Thanks,

Tom

re: Secure page problem

The browsers, as should *good browsers* be expected to, report a warning if
there is a mixed-content.

The only alternative is to use relative paths to ensure that HTTP or
HTTPS... it's always the same for all items.

If these *objects* are hosted on the same server, using relative paths
should be trivial.
