IE10 websocket allowInsecureFromHttps

Question

I've got a websocket implementation that I'm trying to make work across browsers.

At some point, we'll migrate to wss:// (i.e. encrypted websockets) but for now, it's all ws://. When we serve a page from https that redirects to a ws host, we see the following:

1. Chrome is okay.
2. Firefox is okay if the allowInsecureFromHttps setting is set to true.
3. IE10 barfs.

I know that the correct path is to simply implement wss, but in the meantime, I'm wondering if there's any configuration I can apply to IE10, similar to firefox's allowInsecureFromHttps that will permit a ws:// link to be opened from an https:// page.

Thanks!

Sorry to say, but there is no such configuration for IE10. You need to implement wss for it.
