Epoch won't load comments in the presence of HTTPS firewall

I want everyone to see comments even if their HTTPS access is forbidden by organization (some do block HTTPS traffic to preserve their secrets). The site is SSL-enabled and the login is forced via HTTPS only. However, Epoch does not switch to HTTP and gets failures upon XMLHttpRequest calls to https://site.xx/epoch-api instead of following the protocol explicitly stated in the URL to softly switch to mixed mode: http://site.xx/blog/post/45677

The site supports switching to the mixed regime or to HTTP but Epoch does not seem to utilize it.

I am not exactly sure if it's an Epoch problem or the HTTPS setting, or if it can be solved on either side. I am just observing it with Epoch while the other insecure resources are loaded well.

Any ideas how to solve it?
