HTTPS M3U8 Crossdomain problem

I do not understand this.
I created a rss playlist and host in on Amazon S3. I have crossdomain to allow domain access from a website that does not have a https certificate so allow the domain at http. The playlist file is served from the player as https link
When the player loads it displays the playlist but the m3u8 files are restricted by crossdomain access.
The reason is because the URL's in the playlist (rss) all have https links to the m3u8 index files which are on the S3. If I change them to http links then I can play the m3u8 files.
So while I know the solution I do not understand why.

Why does the rss load over https but not the m3u8 files

Hello,

It’s not clear to me exactly what the problem is. Can you send me a link so I can troubleshoot more effectively?

Regards,

The page is setup now, i would have to duplicate and reconfigure another page and it's probably not worth my time, was just curious.

Okay – no problem. Make sure that your source URLs are both using the https protocol and make sure that your hosting servers are configured to use SSL.

Actually the domain that it is used on doesn't have https. The playlist URLS's in the RSS which is on a S3 storage were https, so I had to make them http.
