Hi,
In my webpage, I am loading this howcast video. If the page that
serves this video is served over https, then i get a mixed-content
warning in IE..
I changed
http://www.howcast.com/flash/howcast_player.swf?file=396648&theme=black
To
https://www.howcast.com/flash/howcast_player.swf?file=396648&theme=black
But in the next link, the resources are not downloaded. What should I
do to serve howcast videos over SSL?

Hi Sarthak,
Unfortunately we don't support video playback over https (nor do other
sites such as YouTube). Although it's not ideal from a UX standpoint,
linking to the video or popping it up in another window is your best
option to avoid the warning.
It looks like some people have worked around this by dynamically
rendering the embed code via swfobject. See

Sorry we don't have a better solution for you right now.
Best regards,
