 When you use flashproxy in an HTTPS iframe, you will get all kinds of
 Security-Related errors like "SecurityError" (IE) and "This operation is
 insecure" (Firefox). This seems to be caused by trying to establish an
 unenrypted (i.e. `insecure') Websocket under HTTPS.

 Under Firefox this can be worked around by letting the user set
 `network.websocket.allowInsecureFromHTTPS`, but there is no such thing for
 IE.
