As reported in reddit/reddit#1291, we've been loading some images in our embed widgets (the old ones, not the new comment embeds) over http. This causes warnings in most browsers when the embedding page is loaded over https, since we dropping down to insecure elements. Now we're always loading them over https. Alternatively, we could use protocol-relative urls, but I figure there's no harm in always using https, and it's simpler and causes fewer weird issues with browsers.
