the smartest and easiest way for an affiliate programm to prevent that issue is to set up
the links in https AND http and link to //domainnamexyz.com instead of https: //domainnamexyz.com or http ://domainnamexyz.com
the browser than wil AUTOMATICLY connect to https if the link is on a secured site and to http if it is not.
so a redirect does not help at all.

Hi Thommy,
You're talking iframes and frames here... (Unsecured Content / Mixed Content Warnings)
Simply linking to http:// from a https:// site does not trigger any warnings, AFAIK.
What ManicaMoney are referring to are the new warnings that are displayed on sites that gather user data such as logins if they are on a non-secure protocol.
And I have to agree that if MM wants to have all their sites that have forms SSL enabled the smartest thing to do would be 301 redirects that change the protocol from http to https but leave the link intact as it was.
They can keep pages that do not gather user-data (pages without forms on them like galleries for example) on http if they wanted to without any issues as well.
Just my
worth
