mixed content issue in iframe (http vs https URLS) #239

If a student creates a link to an http site that doesn't target="_blank", the browser throws a "mixed content" error (but the student doesn't see that, so it seems like the link just doesn't work). here's an example.

maybe we should have netnet spot these links && throw warnings so they know to be aware of it? or maybe there's some other way to handle this using the iframe web API where we can maybe allow mixed content?
