On a HTTPS site embedding youtube clips works great in all browser, except Internet Explorer where I get this famous little warning message:

"Do you want to view only the webpage content that was delivered securely? This page contains content that will not be delivered using a secure HTTPS ... etc"

I've tried to solve this in several ways. The most promising one was to use the ProxyPass functionality in Apache to map to YouTube.

Like this:

ProxyPass: /youtube/ http://www.youtube.com
ProxyPassReverse: /youtube/ http://www.youtube.com

This gets rid of the annoying warning. However, the youtube SWF fails to start streaming The SWF i manage to load into the browser simply states : "An error occurred, please try again later".

Potential solutions are perhaps:

Download youtube FLV:s and serve them out of own domain (gah)
Use custom FLV-player and stream only FLV:s from youtube over a https proxy?
