Awesome Font with HTTPS

Question

So, I am having a problem with Font Awesome in IE8 when using HTTPS on my own site, and it even reproduces on Font Awesome's own site. If I go to the Awesome Font over HTTPS in IE8, I get boxes for all the icons, however, if I go to the Awesome Font over HTTP, I get the correct icons.

What is the problem? I heard that this may be due to the relative font paths in the Awesome over HTTPS font, but am not sure about that.

Here is a screenshot for those who like things like this:

Update

So, here is the code that refers to fonts and loads CSS. I am going to use the code from the Font Awesome website, as this seems to be a problem with Font Awesome, and not necessarily something with my website:

HTML, CSS :

<link rel="stylesheet" href="../assets/css/site.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="../assets/css/pygments.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="../assets/font-awesome/css/font-awesome.css">
...
<div class="fa-hover col-md-3 col-sm-4">
   <a href="../icon/adjust"><i class="fa fa-adjust"></i> fa-adjust</a>
</div>

font-awesome.css:

@font-face {
  font-family: 'FontAwesome';
  src: url('../fonts/fontawesome-webfont.eot');
  src: url('../fonts/fontawesome-webfont.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
  url('../fonts/fontawesome-webfont.woff?v=4.0.3') format('woff'),
  url('../fonts/fontawesome-webfont.ttf?v=4.0.3') format('truetype'), url('../fonts/fontawesome-webfont.svg?v=4.0.3#fontawesomeregular') format('svg');
  font-weight: normal;
  font-style: normal;
}

NoCacheHeaderFilter web.xml .

<filter>
    <filter-name>NoCacheHeaderFilter</filter-name>
    <filter-class>NoCacheHeaderFilter</filter-class>
    <init-param>
        <param-name>exclude</param-name>
        <param-value>^/(image|css|js|fonts|lib|partials)/.*</param-value>

</filter>

, .

    if (null != exclude) {
        HttpServletRequest httpRequest = (HttpServletRequest) request;
        HttpServletResponse httpResponse = (HttpServletResponse) response;

        String context = httpRequest.getContextPath();
        String path = httpRequest.getRequestURI().substring(context.length());
        if (!exclude.matcher(path).matches()) {
            httpResponse.setHeader("Pragma", "no-cache");
            httpResponse.setHeader("Cache-Control", "private, max-age=0, no-store, no-cache");
            httpResponse.setDateHeader("Expires", System.currentTimeMillis());
        }
    }

    chain.doFilter(request, response);
