When the entire site works over https, it's not showing the attached media (e.g. SlideShare, YouTube, etc) via oEmbed formatter.
The oEmbed formatter works ok over http through.

Surprisingly, oEmbed formatter is still showing Vimeo in https session, but not showing SlideShare and YouTube.

My further investigation shows that Firefox considers embedded oEmbed formatter links for SlideShare and YouTube as mixed content, as they begin with http:// (e.g.: http://www.youtube.com/...), not https.
For Vimeo it seems to be different as its oEmbed formatter link begins with: //player.vimeo.com/... - and as such is not considered by Firefox as mixed content and not blocked on the page automatically.
And this seems to be the trend not only for Firefox later versions, this blocking of mixed content is also implemented in IE and other browsers.
Can oEmbed formatter be modified similarly for SlideShare, YouTube and maybe other media - to avoid being blocked and confusing site users?

This is a duplicate of #2105127: HTTPS (SSL) support.

The solution in comment #3 of that thread was a good youtube workaround for me while a more robust solution is in progress, but I'd read up on the whole thread to make the best choice.
