When testing with 1.6.1_rc2 and 1.6.1_rc3 I got complaints from some
corporate clients that they're getting the following dialog on IE6.
"This page contains both secure and nonsecure items."
I managed to test this, and confirmed this is the case. Older versions
of Prototype do not cause this problem. I'm not sure why it's
happening. I searched through rc3 and other than comments I didn't
find any obvious culprits.
So I cannot concurrently support both IE8 and IE6 users.

Why is this a prototype issue? If you have a site which has hardcoded the
protocol for some resources, then they will generate this message.

I filed a bug on this issue with a suggested fix (https://
prototype.lighthouseapp.com/projects/8886/tickets/648-ssl-error-on-ie6-
with-161_rc2). I'm not sure what the status is for getting this
resolved for 1.6.1, although we've been running successfully with the
proposed fix for several months in a production environment.

Diodeus,
Maybe you would like to try YUI Compressor which will reduce the size
even more.
I'm using prototype 1.6.2 and after compressing it becomes from 127Kb
to 74Kb.
Ryan, thank you for this fix. I've modified my copy of rc3.
On a side note: I think the library would lose about 10k if tabs were
used for indentation rather than multiple spaces.

And then you can gzip it... reduces by (IIRC) 50%-ish again.
I tried wrapping Prototype and my code together in a closure once, thinking this'd help YUI Compressor reduce more of the variable names but it actually increased the size by a percent or two. Not sure why.

I think that's OK because you have already removed the white spaces that
have a higher compressibility. So the percentage could be larger, but I
guess usually you can still get a smaller final size.
Now in my project I use both YUI compressor and gzip in case some ones are
using browsers that does not support gzip.
