Mixed Content warning on Youtube Subscribe button over HTTPS
The Youtube subscribe button on our site has started to generate this mixed content type error just recently. It was working fine before.
Our site (https://data-miner.io) is fully on HTTPS. The URL for loading the Google script is also on HTTPS.
Even the example button off Google developer guide gives us the same error. Example code:
<script src="https://apis.google.com/js/platform.js"></script>
<div class="g-ytsubscribe" data-channel="GoogleDevelopers"></div>
And we get this error:
Mixed Content: The page at 'https://data-miner.io/' was loaded over HTTPS,
but requested an insecure resource 'http://www.youtube.com/subscribe_embed?action_card=1&channelid=UCJsN_l9Nikc…res__%2Fam%3DAQ%2Frt%3Dj%2Fd%3D1%2Frs%3DAGLTcCMHYgS7aNxNWsVBTJHTEp3IHdPl5g'.
This request has been blocked; the content must be served over HTTPS.
Is this a Google bug? Why are they trying to load something over http. Any help would be appreciated.
[UPDATE]: A week later and this is still broken. Google guys tried to fixed it and introduced yet another bug. Unbelivable! What kind of testing does this team do?

I've noticed the same error, and it appears to be a Google bug. You can see the same error occurring on YouTube's Configure a Button page. I submitted a bug report to YouTube's issue tracker, which you can follow here.
