How to display non-SSL images on HTTPS connection?

Question

On my https web site, how can I display images from a web site without a certificate?

I own the example domain of:

• http://www.example.

Answer 1

There is no way to do this without a certificate for static.example.com that will not trigger a security warning or prompt in some browsers (particularly Internet Explorer).

GoDaddy sells SSL certificates for $30ish. I'd say spring for the little bit of cash.
