Form address postal code auto-complete https request and CORS workaround

Question

I'm building a form (php) and i want to people put their postal code, and the address gets automatically filled.

I'm having two problems:

First, these requests are made by my https page, so if the API that provides me the data is http, it will fail.
Second, the cross-origin request all fail. The only https API i found, is of course in other domain... so it don't work.

Do you guys know a workaround ?

Proxy the API through your own server over HTTPS.

Can you please tell me how ? – Lucas M. Dec 08 '14 at 13:28
Make the requests with `cURL`, parrot them back to the browser. – Quentin Dec 08 '14 at 14:28
