Comment:

 OK it turns out that this isn't a problem with the Soundcloud ruleset
 (which is actually only in the 4.0 development releases, not 3.1.4 stable)
 but the [https://www.eff.org/https-
 everywhere/atlas/domains/amazonaws.com.html AmazonAWS ruleset].  The
 problem appears to be
 [https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/6980 caused by the
 crossdomain.xml file on that domain], although I'm not exactly sure why.
 I've confirmed that we could work around the problem by adding

 {{{<exclusion pattern="^http://soundcloud-upload\.s3\.amazonaws\.com/"
 />}}}

 to the AmazonAWS ruleset, but it would be better if Soundcloud folks could
 figure out how to make things work if that domain is httpsified.
