Retrieve html5.js using https when using a secure connection

Question

The page https://stackexchange.com (kudos for SSL) works flawlessly on all browsers except IE, which says

Internet Explorer blocked this website from displaying content with security ceritifcate errors.

I think this is due to the lines

<!--[if IE]>
<script src="http://html5shiv.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/html5.js"></script>
<![endif]-->

which is easily fixable since https://html5shiv.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/html5.js leads to the same file.

I know that SSL is not a priority right now, but once I saw it, I couldn't un-see it...

Answer 1

This is fixed now.

Bear in mind that SSL-enabling stackexchange.com is a work in progress – for example, the homepage still serves some content over http.

Right now, SSL is just used for the OAuth 2.0 flow in API v2 (which uses html5.js in IE, which is why this was a valid bug).
