I am using Node.JS v0.4.12 and Socket.IO v0.8.6

Both Firefox 7.0.1 & Chrome 15 work surprisingly even with the GET request for "http://server:por/socket.io/1/?t=1320006629873"
with the response of "15642441631690423542:15:25:websocket,flashsocket"

But in IE 9.0 I get a message "Only secure content is displayed" with an option to show all content. So the browser halts all Socket.IO activities because it is trying to perform a GET request that is outside the HTTPS location.

Is there something I am doing wrong (besides the obvious of trying to connect to a standard Websocket server from within a https page) or is this something that may never work?
