Comment (by martyn_):

 Also hitting this on my https only site.

 I disagree with this

 {{{
 The core does not need any https front end logic baked in for it to do the
 right thing for oembed when it is explicitly given an https URL.
 }}}

 though. If the site is https, then even if the user enters a http link, as
 is extremely common because they've just copy pasta from another window
 without any second thought, then it should be converted to https. Why not
 just have a protocol-relative URL ( //youtube.com/ )  generated, which
 will then follow the current protocol of the site?
