Our "portal-like" SharePoint site is served using HTTPS/SSL. So a user goes to https://web.company.com and sees content and different Web Parts. So far, no problem.

The desire now is to have new Web Parts added that either frame HTTP content (such as Weather Bug) or HTTP RSS feeds.

The issue that arises is that by doing this, results in a "Mixed Content" warning in the browser.

Has anybody successfully been able to implement such a scenario, or one similar to it? The options we have looked at, unsuccessfully, have been:

using Apache Reverse Proxy Server
mirror an external site
Custom Web Parts
