You'd have to change the CSS to also reference the images, etc. over https.
The warning you describe will be triggered whenever you have an HTML page,
delivered over https, that calls images, CSS, or javascript from another
source, delivered over http. This isn't a Restlet thing ... it applies to
any SSL Web server.
However, one neat Restlet thing that does help, is the Redirector feature.
This is a bit advanced, but you can use the Redirector on your local web
service to proxy these requests to the other server; this can be used to
avoid such warnings and single-source issues, at the expense of some
overhead in your web service and a responsibility to manage the security
appropriately.
