Delivering a file over ssl and non ssl (http and https) in IIS

Question

To avoid mixed content warnings I would like to have a file that can be delivered under both protocols (http/https). Ie.

http://www.site.com/file.js and https://www.site.com/file.js

I've had a look at google analytics injection code and they use a diferent domain, i.e: http://www.google.com and https://ssl.google.com.

Now I would like something a little 'cleaner'? I really don't want to have 2 websites to mantain. Does anyone know if this is possible in IIS?

Thanks

Answer 1

This doesn't have to be a different domain, it will typically use the domain just a different port. See "How to Setup an HTTPS Service in IIS."

EDIT I see you you are talking about mixing SSL and non SSL, so if my answer above doesn't help. It seems that using relative URLs are the answer. Take a look at Http-https transitions and relative URLs.
