"Mixed content blocked" when running an HTTP AJAX operation in an HTTPS page

Solution 1:

I resolved this by adding following code to the HTML page, since we are using the third party API which is not controlled by us.

<meta http-equiv="Content-Security-Policy" content="upgrade-insecure-requests"> 

Hope this would help, and for a record as well.

Solution 2:

If you load a page in your browser using HTTPS, the browser will refuse to load any resources over HTTP. As you've tried, changing the API URL to have HTTPS instead of HTTP typically resolves this issue. However, your API must not allow for HTTPS connections. Because of this, you must either force HTTP on the main page or request that they allow HTTPS connections.

Note on this: The request will still work if you go to the API URL instead of attempting to load it with AJAX. This is because the browser is not loading a resource from within a secured page, instead it's loading an insecure page and it's accepting that. In order for it to be available through AJAX, though, the protocols should match.
