Amazon CloudFront (MathJax's CDN) supports HTTPS, but their SSL certificate only applies to *.cloudfront.net urls. This retrieves the cloudfront host at runtime, and loads MathJax from there via HTTPS.

Amazon CloudFront (MathJax's CDN) supports HTTPS, but their SSL certificate only applies to
*.cloudfront.neturls. This retrieves the cloudfront host at runtime, and loads MathJax from there via HTTPS.The cloudfront url is apparently stable, and not dynamic, so I could just use
d3eoax9i5htok0.cloudfront.netinstead of the gethostbyname call, but this approach seemed safer to changes in Amazon's structure, and will even continue to work if MathJax moves to a new CDN that actually supports HTTPS on the MathJax domain.
