Comment(by cypherpunks):

 I think these exclusions may be overly broad.

 Notice that all the problematic URLs contain ".pagespeed." (possibly
 Scientific American is running an instance of Google Page Speed Service
 for some of its content?)

 As far as I could tell, a rule that strips everything from .pagespeed.
 onward in www.scientificamerican.com URLs is enough to fix the problem on
 this and some other blog posts. (To clarify, all the affected pages are on
 blogs.scientificamerican.com; I did not notice problems with any ''pages''
 on www.scientificamerican.com. However, the offending ''files'' are on the
 www domain.)

 If you don't feel comfortable doing that in any release branch, excluding
 URLs that contain .pagespeed. is probably a good alternative.

 Can someone elaborate as to what other content, if any, is "not available
 through https"? I haven't seen any problems unrelated to this one; do I
 need an account?

 (I emailed the mailing list about this a few days ago; sorry for not
 commenting here directly. It doesn't look like anyone's on the CC list for
 this ticket, but I wasn't sure whether reopening it was an appropriate way
 to get attention either - sorry for my inexperience w/ Trac)
