Thanks for your reply.

It may not be the case since we do not serve mixed http/https content on our server. We do not even use nsopenssl. But we uses apache2 with mod_ssl and mod_proxy to serve our site as https site. Do you think that is related?

Also Mozilla is a successor of Nescape Navigator. May there is something to do with this, too.

How can I proof if this assumption is right or wrong?

I tested two ways:

1. create an html page that contains img tags with src to fully-qualified https urls on the same site, and then access via http. For example, create test-page-1.html:

...some html...
>img src="https://mysite.foobar.com/image.gif">;
...some html...
some more image tags with https references
...more html..

then reference the page from the browser:
http://mysite.foobar.com/test-page-1.html

2. create an html page that contains img tags with src to fully-qualified http urls on the same site, and then access via https. For example, create test-page-2.html:

..some html..
>img src="http://mysite.foobar.com/image.gif">;
..some html..
some more image tags with http references
..more html..

then reference the page from the browser:
https://mysite.foobar.com/test-page-2.html

Note: Request the page using the http/https protocol *not* used in the image references.

oops..

just to clarify any ambiguity,

I meant to write <img instead of >img
