Does an HTTPS SharePoint Site Need to Use HTTPS-Compliant Web Parts?

webparts

I am new to SharePoint, so this question may be a little naive. However, I sincerely appreciate any help with this.

We are planning to create a new sub-site within our company's intranet site, which is built on SharePoint 2007. We want to add a 3rd-party weather web part (which is just a widget to display the local weather forecast) to the home page of the new intranet site.

Since the intranet site uses HTTPS, do we need to find an HTTPS-compliant web part? Or, is it possible to use any web part and then configure it to use HTTPS? I'm assuming that if we use a non-HTTPS web part, then users will get some sort of "This page contains both secure and non-secure items" error message when they load the page.
