Fonts not serving over HTTPS

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Connect to a web font via secure connection. (ie - 
https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Oswald)

2. CSS output references the woff file being located on 
https://themes.googleusercontent.com...

3. Connecting directly to the woff file reports page unavailable. (ie - 
https://themes.googleusercontent.com/static/fonts/oswald/v2/-g5pDUSRgvxvOl5u-a_W
Hw.woff)

4. Removing the HTTPS and using HTTP results in a connection.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
 Tested using Firefox and IE9, both failed connections.

Please provide any additional information below.
 Does googleusercontent.com have a security cert in place?

Yeah. I just tried to load 
https://themes.googleusercontent.com/static/fonts/oswald/v2/-g5pDUSRgvxvOl5u-a_W
Hw.woff and it failed to connect.

I think we need more details about your browser setup, ideally including either 
a network trace of the request/response or screenshot of the headers 
sent/received. Is it possible you have a proxy or ad blocker in place that 
could be blocking the request? It certainly loads for me and for a majority of 
our users.

Problem still exists. https://themes.googleusercontent.com/static/fonts/... any 
web font loaded under HTTPS does not load successfully. Apart from using HTTP 
is there any other solution or workaround?

As said above it appears to be a proxy problem. Works on different network.

Review: It is stated that it is a "proxy" problem that somehow blocks IE 8 and 
9 from loading HTTPS Google Oswald fonts and that one should "work on a 
different" network. This is not good enough for me. Please let us work together 
to finding a work-about !! 

- The obvious way is to load the font via FTP but I can not find (yet) how to 
do this - or if we can do this with Google Fonts. Ideas ....

Frankly I think the issue is NOT about proxy networks but about IE security 
settings that one checks to 'Do not save encrypted pages to disk'.

I'm interested in clarifying this because I am having the same issue. When I 
change the http in the goggle supplied api link for the fonts to https: The net 
console in Firebug shows the get operation for the files at 
themes.googleusercontet.com as aborted. This also happens in Chrome. Stragely, 
the fonts still seem to display; but I can;t shake the feeling that all is not 
OK and I'm going to pay the price for this later.

Instead of using a protocol in your URL, like

http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Oswald

or

https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Oswald

You can simply use

//fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Oswald

and this should work more reliably.
