I can confirm that Googlebot is seeing the same behavior that I do as a visitor.

You tried to fetch as Googlebot the http version (not the https) version of the page. When I do the same with curl, your server redirects me to index.php on the https site.

curl --head  http://www.tonergreen.com.my/HP-CF213A-131A-Magenta-Printer-Toner-Cartridge-Value-Pack-2X 
HTTP/1.1 302 Found
Location: https://www.tonergreen.com.my/index.php?_route_=HP-CF213A-131A-Magenta-Printer-Toner-Cartridge-Value-Pack-2X

When I fetch the https page I get the standard 200 OK response:

curl --head  https://www.tonergreen.com.my/HP-CF213A-131A-Magenta-Printer-Toner-Cartridge-Value-Pack-2X 
HTTP/1.1 200 OK

Your server is mis-configured, it isn't Google's fault.

Testing the https version with "fetch as Google" should work fine. You should fix your http to https redirect to redirect to the canonical version of the URL. — Stephen Ostermiller, Jun 25 '14 at 13:33

The Fetch as Googlebot tool is not making a mistake.

Your question is asked different from what you are trying to do. Eg you are actually trying to view:

http://www.tonergreen.com.my/HP-CF213A-131A-Magenta-Printer-Toner-Cartridge-Value-Pack-2X

You are trying to view a non-https page, and are being redirected to https.

This is unlikely to be anything to do with the theme.

More likely it will be due to something related to your ecommerce software, or some kind of http to https redirection you have.

Great, then that explains why you are being redirected - I would look there to try and understand what is going wrong. – ColinMcDermott Jun 23 '14 at 15:48
