bizarre https link stylesheet disappearance

cruiserweight

i am trying to serve the exact same page from both http and https
servers. i am using a linked stylesheet like this

<link rel="stylesheet" href="../styles/main.css" type="text/css" />

the http server works exactly like expected, just fine. but if you
switch to https the linked stylesheets stop working and you receive an
unstyled page.

try for yourself here (styles broken)

https://www.fcccambodia.com/resolution/

and here (styles fine)

http://www.fcccambodia.com/resolution/

any ideas...

thanks much in advance

Works fine ... but then you've edited it since you asked for help.

If I manually request the style sheet you were using, server says:

Content-Type: application/x-pointplus
and here (styles fine)

http://www.fcccambodia.com/resolution/

Server says: Content-Type: text/css

My browser knows how to handle style sheets written in CSS, it doesn't know
how to handle style sheets written in x-pointplus (which is no surprise
given that a not-used-very-much Powerpoint plugin thingy isn't actaully a
style sheet language). As it doesn't know what to do with it, it ignores
it.

Both work fine here in IE6/Win and FF0.9.2/Win. Try clearing your
browser caches?

That would appear to be the problem, no? Awesome. Thanks.
