I'm using sharepoint on a secure server and I'm trying to insert images from non-secure websites. What's the easiest way to do this
I'm having to use IE6 and it throughs a 'this page has both secure and non-secure items' error, if it is just inserted normally.
Is there an easy way of including the images without downloading it, creating a web gallery, uploading it there, then inserting it from that URL?

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Sorry, but to the best of my knowledge its not possible due to browser security constraints, especialling in IE6.
The warning is a security issue of mixing http sourced content with https sourced content (which you know). If there was a way to kill it the browser would be not doing its job protecting the user.
The ways to get around this are what you identified: link to https sourced content either local or 3rd party. You *could* create a script that grabs an copy of the linked images for saving them as local resources.
In later browsers (like FF) this warning is ignored after the first notice is agreed.

Yes, unfotunately I'm forced onto IE6....
Looks like I'll have to stick to the uploading images to a picture gallery and embedding them there.
The best solution to embeding youtube content I've found is to create just one page full of videos - that way you only get one security warning and then just linking to them from the relevant articles.
