Jeff, Good explanation. Unfortunately, this is breaking our SSL pages because even though the jQuery and SWFObject libraries are loading via HTTPS, the 1x1 stats .gif is loading via HTTP. For now we can revert to linking directly to the secure scripts, but this is an issue. Also, it seems to only happen in the transition to a secure area from an unsecure area.
