I can download the data with put URL but how do I get that 
data into a player?   I suppose I could download the file then 
open the file but that doesn't allow you to start playing the 
movie while downloading.

I can set the filename to the HTTPS URL but the movie 
does not appear in the player as it does when you use 
an HTTP URL.

I have entered it as a bug, #8773
