I’m stuck in a related situation: I own a website with heavy traffic that contains inline iframes to some http pages (about 30% of pages) hosted by third parties. I can’t turn https on for my website, otherwise these iframes would be blocked by the browser. Since I don’t offer https, it means that I can’t offer features such as login/sign up etc.. Any ideas?

I can’t see any good solution, unless those third parties start using HTTPS.

  I’m considering showing the iframes in an HTTP popup.. that way the main site can be served via HTTPS and the non HTTPS content would simply pop up.

Proxy the iframes through your own server.

  Would be very bandwidth intensive? They’re service video streams served over HTTP.

    Oh so then I'm pretty sure they use http to reduce CPU load.

I'm in the same situation as yours. Still looking for solutions.

Popup/new tab with no encryption of your own site and show the iframe. But then of course it's not inline with the rest of your sites content.

  Yeah, I’m considering that.. pop up to HTTP. Then again, the most popular content is being served on HTTP. Bummer!
