title: Embedding HTTP content into HTTPS site
body: <p>We have a unified portal which links multiple services through a jQuery tab based interface making use of iframes to display content from different services. Our portal runs on a secure server with HTTPS/SSL. While most of our external services are HTTPS, two of them aren't. Obviously we are aware of the issues with mixed content and we didn't like the idea of having non-https sites within the portal, but we didn't have a choice. Everything was ok until a few days ago when Google updated chrome to version 30, which now silently blocks mixed content.This has created a great number of problems for us. We contacted the external services  and asked them if they could upgrade their services to HTTPS and one of them has come back saying they have no plans to do so for the next 2 years.</p>
  
  <p>Obviously this is a problem. We tried getting around the problem by getting this service to open into a new browser window, but this is a rather inelegant workaround which I would like to get rid of, if at all possible. Is there any way that I can use AJAX or PHP to prefetch the page in question and then display it within the portal iframe without Chrome blocking it?</p>
  
  <p>I would be very grateful for any advice at all. I do understand how bad an idea it is to mix secure content with non secure content, but I have no choice in the matter as my manager is adamant that the service have to be a part of the portal.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance.</p>
  
  <p>Regards</p>
