jquery ajax forces https

Question

Following setup:

• jquery 2.1.1
• nodejs (not important)
• https

Problem: $.getJSON() and $.get() get a url like " http://host.com:1234/stats ". The url parameter is definitely right (checked it with debug log). But jquery seems to automatically convert the http to https (what gives back a connection error). Mixed content is allowed.

Configuring SSL on the wanted hosts is not an option, because they aren't mine.

Do you guys know a trick to avoid jquery from preventing mixed content?

Thanks for your time and kind regards.

It's caused by the browser itself. The only solution is to use a reverse proxy.
