Google have a similar problem with Google Analytics, but they did provide SSL support. There's no problem with different SSL certs (try https://www.httpwatch.com). The page includes this conditional code to switch protocols: <script type="text/javascript"> var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ? "https://ssl." : "http://www."); document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src='" + gaJsHost + "google-analytics.com/ga.js' type='text/javascript'%3E%3C/script%3E")); </script> Glenn,

That's a significant improvement. Enough to convince me to use them as well. Thanks! That’s a significant improvement. Enough to convince me to use them as well.

I'm not sure how it would ever be possible to make ssl work from a google host since even if they serve it over ssl won't browsers complain on retrieving ssl content from different servers with different ssl certs? Cheers. Couldn’t you wrap the script src tag in a conditional block so:

With this result, we are more confident in the advertised improvement as we have just switched to the hosted jquery library for our ad server, AdSpeed. Excellent analysis!
