How do I embed youtube videos with https instead of http in the URL?

by

I’m running a site that only communicates over SSL/https so if I embed a youtube video using http I will get an error message saying the site is’nt fully secure. Is it possible to rewrite something so that WordPress accepts https and still auto embeds youtube links added to the content area? Cause now, when I try to embed a https youtube link, all that is shown is the URL, no movie.

Update

I’ve tried to add providers using this code in functions.php but it does nothing:

wp_oembed_add_provider('https://youtu.be/*', 'https://youtube.com/oembed' );
wp_oembed_add_provider('#https://(www\.)?youtube.com/watch.*#i', 'https://youtube.com/oembed', true);
wp_oembed_add_provider('http://youtu.be/*', 'https://youtube.com/oembed' );
wp_oembed_add_provider('#http://(www\.)?youtube.com/watch.*#i', 'https://youtube.com/oembed', true);

http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/18719 has a working patch now.

Edit: Plugin code to do similar until patch gets in:

wp_oembed_add_provider('#https://(www\.)?youtube.com/watch.*#i', 'http://youtube.com/oembed?scheme=https', true);
wp_oembed_add_provider('https://youtu.be/*', 'http://youtube.com/oembed?scheme=https', false );
