Public bug reported:

Browers blocking mixed content, esp. when you are on a SSL enabled site
is becoming more of an issue esp. since not all browsers make this
blocking obvious. Firefox only has a small icon in the universal bar.

We already fixed bug #1207140 but that doesn't apply to other places
where mixed content is used, e.g. in external image galleries. Flickr
for example typically shows you http, but you can use the same URL under
https. Thus, if you know that, you can use that instead on your SSL
site.

Is there a way of implementing something like the protocol relevant URL
in Mahara or make it more obvious that content can't be displayed due to
it being mixed? With more and more people having SSL, this will become
more of a question.
