 Using the HTTPS Everywhere plugin on the site www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer causes
 the site to render badly.   I believe that this is a bug in the BBC
 handling of the request but it appears that the site should be added to a
 whitelist.

 N.B.  I believe that the BBC uses GeoIP locating to differentiate between
 UK and non-UK addresses so different results may be found when testing
 this from outside the UK.
