HTTP & HTTPS elements on the same Page

[grgbalden]

Hi Guys,

I'm working on a web service that will make a HTTPS web service request to another server. Within the HTTPS response a URL in addition to other information will be provided. The URL points to a 3rd party image repository, and I want to pull the image from the repository and serve the image to the customer within a secure session. I could use the URL directly within the page to pull the image, and serve this to the customer directly, however I have some questions about using this method:

Some Questions:

- Would using the URL directly result in a warning being thrown within the page (Non secure content in a secure session)?
- As a solution is it possible to have a further web call (within the application) that would request the image (in the background) then serve this to application that generates the page for the user?
- Is there any simple way of having the images retrieved from the image repository via HTTP, but keeping the customers page as HTTPS? Without the warning being thrown?

Thanks in Advance
