Stefan,

I'm trying to clear up the browser mixed-mode error in the URL. The page 
is delivered via Https and all of the resources are relative addressed 
including the XmlHttpsRequest. The research I done seems to suggest I 
need to do an explicit Https XmlHttpsRequest to resolve the error.

This is what I'm using for my XmlHttpsRequest:
myXmlHttpRequest.open("POST", "/ws/webserviceXYZ.jsp");
myXmlHttpRequest.onreadystatechange = myResponse;
myXmlHttpRequest.send(myPostData);

I do not want to do the following as the domain is different in testing, 
production, and in affiliate modes:
myXmlHttpRequest.open("POST", 
"https://www.mydomain.com/ws/webserviceXYZ.jsp");

 From what you posted, the XmlHttpRequest should be defaulting to Https 
since the page was accessed from it. Chrome is complaining it is not 
though. Any help is greatly appreciated as I am not a troll. Pointy-ears 
just does not like it when one of the lesser JS smart people vocalize 
their disappointment in his depredations on their skills and character.
