 To whom it may concern,

 I wrote a few rule sets for HTTPS-Everywhere (I'd rather not list which
 rule sets I wrote) and one of the sites I wrote rules for is not wholly
 encrypted. The problem is adds on the web site, which are hosted elsewhere
 (I think) and are not using SSL.

 Ex: I visit site XYZ.com with TBB and while site XYZ.com is on HTTPS, I
 get a dialog box warning that not all traffic is encrypted. This is due to
 adds running on site XYZ.com, I assume.

 I wrote AdBlock Plus filters for site XYZ.com, to block the loading of all
 off-site adds, which appear on site XYZ.com. While the adds no longer
 load, I still get the warning about unencrypted traffic.

 Can HTTPS-Everywhere be made to block all non-HTTPS traffic on a site for
 which there are HTTPS-Everywhere rules sets?
