YouTube IFrame API generates mixed content warning with HTTPS + HTML5

Question

When I embed youtube on an HTTPS page using the iframe api in HTML5 mode , it still pulls the actual stream using HTTP, which generates a mixed content warning. Is this usecase

Answer 1

It seems that (as of October 2012) this is the expected behaviour and there are no plans to change it: https://code.google.com/p/gdata-issues/issues/detail?id=2964&can=1&q=youtube%20https&colspec=API%20ID%20Type%20Status%20Priority%20Stars%20Summary
