HSTS only recommends the blocking of mixed content; it doesn't require it. A website can block mixed content with CSP. But, the websites that have mixed content are probably not the ones making use of HSTS or CSP. We have also discussed blocking https+ws:// content completely in our WebSockets implementation, so that all WebSockets on a HTTPS page must be wss://. That way, we could avoid making mixed content problems any worse. - Brian ___ dev-security mailing list dev-security@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-security

If you'd be willing to file a bug at bugs.webkit.org too (and CC me), I can help make sure WebKit and Firefox end up with the same behavior here.
