Can we tell it to fetch the https images

    The problem is as follows:

    in your code Twitter_Like_Box_Widget.class.php you fetch the field profile_image_url from Twitter. You use the value in this field to render profile images (the main account one and the ones for the followers). This url always starts with http://.

    Our site is served over https:// the result was a mixed content warning.

    It is trivial to ‘hack’ your code to get the https field from Twitter profile_image_url_https. (so the images are rendered with https:// in line with the rest of our site)

    However that now means I have a customisation which is a problem for upgrading. So two questions:

    is it possible to configure your plugin to do this? (a quick glance both at the settings panel and the code suggests not)

    and, secondly – can i make this a feature request?
