Don't do this.

Either serve it all up through SSL or don't use SSL at all.
Reason being, many browsers (particularly those from Redmond) will
confuse the user with requests to load "insecure items" when they
encounter <img src="" href="http://example.com/foo.jpg" target="_blank">http://example.com/foo.jpg> tags and suchlike.
