HTTP javascript hiccough on HTTPS site

I have created a subdomain to handle the Piwik business

http://analytics.domain.com

I’m tracking a couple of SSL sites

https://sub1.domain.com
https://sub2.domain.com

As soon as I add the javascript to each IE throws up security popups, and on Chrome the https gets crossed out signalling an error. They just don’t like mixed http/https.

Anyone else encountered this and is there a fix that doesn’t involve buying an SSL certificate for the web tracking site, or moving web tracking inside one of the SSL sites, which I don’t want to do?

You need a SSL certificate for the piwik domain

Ah, that’s a shame. Was hoping there would be a work around.

Looks like I will have to incorporate the Piwik site into an existing ssl site.

However, I’ll keep experimenting for now as it’s early days and the web analysis stuff is not urgently required.
