Thank you for the enlightenment Yehuda! 
 
I must not be meeting one of the SNI prerequisites (maybe LD_LIBRARY_PATH, 
maybe TLS Extensions) because I get a warning message on startup about using 
*<port> and Name Based Hosting with SSL.  I have a secure workaround so as long 
as it works and security is not compromised I'm OK with the warning since it's 
only temporary for me.  
 
The // for finding appropriate protocol is also a great pointer.  I'm curious 
if that will work with a mod_rewrite rule and if placement in the conf file 
makes a difference, but a quick test will tell me.

If the sites you are referencing allow you to access them over https, that will 
solve the problem. 
My prefered solution is to omit the http: altogether. If a url just starts with 
"//example.com/rest/of/url", the browser will use the appropriate protocol 
automatically.

Thanks. That might make more sense (at least to me). After more reading,
I am not sure that I don't have SNI capable version of httpd already
installed (how do I tell?). The pages that work are very simple but the
one that doesn't is complex and has lots of graphics. If that is the
case, why are they not encrypted like everything else (assuming they are
not referenced on a different server)?


As I mentioned, if you don't have SNI, then you should see major warnings from 
the browser that something is wrong when you go to any site but the first one.

As far as finding the offending image: Go to the page in your browser, right 
click on the page and choose view source (or a similar option). Then search in 
the source for http://
That should let you find which images are not secure.
If the URLs are publicly accessible, post them here if you want someone to have 
a specific look (or email me privately if you don't want them to be public and 
I will try to have a look).

Ah ha! You hit it. There are references to social media on the page that use 
http (Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter). Since they reference a different site 
will just changing it to https be sufficient or is there some other workaround? 
Thanks.


Thanks. I'll give that a try.
