title: Absolute paths in CSS
body: <p>I want to use absolute links in CSS to load some of the styling content, since the widget I am developing can be integrated in other sites. And the problem for me currently is determining the way to refernce that content- since the integrators may be using http or https as the protocol. </p>
  
  <p>I tried both https and protocol-agnostic url's, but the problem is IE8 which either displays a content security warning when using https over http (example 1), or does not load the content at all (example 2). </p>
  
  <p>The problem is that I still need IE8 support.</p>
  
  <pre><code>/* Example #1: */ background-image: url('https://localhost/img/image.png');
  /* Example #2: */ background-image: url('//localhost/img/image.png');
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Any hints on achiving this?</p>
