Use https connection for Facebook Canvas App

Question

I'm actually developing a Facebook Canvas version of an app using PubNub, my problem is that Facebook is blocking all non-https connection, even PubNub send/receive message requests.

Is there anyway to tell to the PubNub SDK to use https version of the PubNub routes ? I really don't need the security of an https connection for my PubNub messages.

Note: I'm using the AngularJS SDK.

EDIT: My application is using https connection, only pubnub keep using simple http request.

It is not possible to create Canvas Apps or Page Apps without https, you always need SSL.

I know that, my application already used https connection, the problem is that PubNub don't. He keeps requesting its servers with http connections which are blocked. – Najie Oct 17 '14 at 15:40
That´s a security feature of modern browser, there is no way around that - it´s a feature, not a bug ;) – andyrandy Oct 17 '14 at 15:57

Man when you develope in a facebook canvas is required the https in the iframe loaded, and by security all comunication in a https page all outcomming conection must be over a secure channel (Another ssl connections...).

Make PubNub comunicate in a ssl channel, try this:
