[HTTPS-Everywhere] Embedded imgur images seem to be broken

[Nicholas Bendler]

Hi,

Thanks for looking into this.

I should clarify what I meant, though: I did not mean "embed" as in 
using the embed tag or an iframe, I just meant a simple <img> tag. 
Here's a test page I mocked up:
http://asimweb.org/~asim/imgur.html

The http version is still broken when the rule is enabled.

I apologize for not including this example earlier.
