Overview

This very simple plugin aims at avoiding mixed content when using https for wordpress sites.

Principle

When you are using HTTPS for browsing, all content resources will point to https. All ‘http’ references will be changed to ‘https’.

On the contrary, if you want HTTP browsing, all references will be changed to ‘http’, which can be useful if you are behind a proxy that filters https.
