Safari will not play mp4 over HTTPS

Hello,

I have a file, sample.html, which contains only the following code:

<html><body>

<videowidth="600"autoplayloopposter="placeholder.jpg">

<sourcesrc="sample.mp4"/>

</video>

</body></html>

The mp4 file referenced is the one downloaded from here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1425

When I use Safari to access my page via http://myserver.com/sample.html the video plays without problem.

When I use Safari to access my page via https://myserver.com/sample.html only the placeholder image is displayed.

Using Safari 7.0.6 on Mac OS X 10.9.4

I have used http://www.sslshopper.com/ssl-checker.html to check that SSL is correctly configured for my domain and it reports no problems.

How can I make the video play in Safari when accessed over https?

Thanks in advance,

Andy
