IE6 -trans.png fix causes security warning on HTTPS sites

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Make a HTML page that contains <img src="/test.png"/> where test.png 
is a PNG with alpha-transparency
2. Call it with IE6 on an http:// server -> no problem, image is rendered 
correctly
3. Call it with IE6 on an https:// server -> warning appears "this site 
contains unsecure elements. display?"
3a. If you click "Yes", the image is replaced and rendered correctly
3b. If you click "No", the image is not replaced and displayed without 
transparency

The src attribute does not contain http or https. I think the protocol 
gets stripped/lost somewhere, but I was unable to find where. Can you 
give me a hint?

For my page, HTTPS is absolutely required and I'd like to use transparent 
PNGs with IE6 nevertheless.

Please consider this issue as INVALID!

It was my fault - I included IE8.js directly from the Google servers via 
http:// - I 
have now moved it to my server and included it with a relative link and not it 
works.

Thank you
