Those pages have examples which refer to the main openstreetmap.org tile
servers? So the OSM.org tile usage comes into play?

If you're on a HTTPS site, and access a HTTP resource, browsers will not
send a HTTP referer. Those instructions have http:// links.

The simplest solution would probably be to change the URLs in those
documents to htts://{s}.tile.blah Then it will work fine with HTTP and
HTTPS hosted web pages.
