 iplayif.com hosts a javascript implementation of an interactive fiction
 interpreter.

 You provide if with a URL of a "z-code" file, it fetches and interprets
 it.

 With HTTPS-Everywhere enabled, the jQuery XHR call that fetches the file
 fails. Perhaps HTTPS-Everywhere tries to fetch the file using HTTPS?

 Example URL: http://iplayif.com/?story=http://mirror.ifarchive.org/if-
 archive/games/zcode/LostPig.z8

 If all goes well, you should see black-on-white text. At the moment, it
 shows a white-on-red error screen.

 I'm using the latest Firefox Nightly, and HTTPS-Everywhere
 4.0development.6
