 * It is an insecure practice to be offering any login or admin interface without
   SSL, which is why WP has force_ssl_login and force_ssl_admin config variables.
   Unfortunately, this plugin assumes that all URL’s start with ‘[http://&#8217](http://&#8217);
   and creates an infinite loop of redirects if you are configured to protect your
   login and admin mechanisms from casual sniffers.
