 On gathering.tweakers.net (forum), registered users can reply to topics.
 When you hit the button to see either a preview or actually post the
 message, Firefox (I think Chrome didn't, but don't know if that means it
 just kept quiet or rewrote the link) will complain saying "The information
 you have entered on this page will be sent over an insecure connection".
 Example:

 <form action="http://gathering.tweakers.net/forum/insert_message/1601768"
 method="post" id="message_form" class="form2 altmsg1 insertMessage"
 onsubmit="return this.preview||checknewmessageform(this)">

 Yes, they use absolute http-URLs everywhere.
