title: secure xmlhttprequest from nonsecure page
body: <p>I want to make an XMLHttpRequest to a secure uri (<a href="https://site.com/ajaxservice/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://site.com/ajaxservice/</a>) from javascript running inside a nonsecure page (<a href="http://site.com/page.htm" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://site.com/page.htm</a>). I've tried all kinds of nutty stuff like iframes and dynamic script elements, so far no go. I know I am violating 'same origin policy' but there must be some way to make this work.</p>
  
  <p>I will take any kind of wacky solution short of having the SSL protocol written in javascript.</p>
