Can you change to employeeApp.ourcompany.com?

Then you can support both http & https on ourcompany.com but only http on employeeApp.ourcompany.com.

That should at least be simpler than changing to a raw ip.

Another option might be redirecting to the local ip rather than framing.

Interesting. You mean Chrome wouldn't do this if there was no ssl on the whole subdomain? Might be worth trying.

Redirecting isn't really a great option because the wrapper app is usually saved as a shortcut to the tablet homescreens to run in full screen mode... saving the redirected url would break more frequently. Also the wrapper iframe polls lots of known local addresses and sees which one loads.

A quick skim of what I think is the relevant file[1] in the chrome source suggests that would work. So worth a shot. If you can deploy enterprise chrome settings to the tablets that's also apparently an option.

Here's what I'm assuming is the relevant bugtracker entry for the implementation [2].
