JavaScript error due to mixing HTTP and HTTPS content

When logged in, the site uses HTTPS. Most browsers try to get you not to mix HTTP and HTTPS content, and in that scenario, things like the Google maps don't show and you get JavaScript errors like:

Hi,

In a more general way, no need of javascript to make the ohloh website behave as a bad guy with any browser : eg: https://www.ohloh.net/p/alternc has a google map with an http url, so any browser will tell that the page is not secured.

You should detect http|https and call google maps accordingly

Loading Google Maps over http on an https page is about as secure as not using https at all. It gives a channel for content not from Google Maps to enter since you can't ensure the content comes from the real Google Maps.

Yes, that's why ohloh need to use https for the google maps when they serve an https page on ohloh.net ...

or don't use https at all :)
