 * Hello,
    Is there a way to force HTTPS for XMLRPC.php, so that my user login and
   password is no longer transmitted in plaintext?
 * I have a dedicated SSL certificate, and HTTPS works great for the wp-admin area,
   but XMLRPC resides in /, and I don’t want to force my readers to use HTTPS for
   normal site views… any suggestions? htaccess, wp configurations, etc?
 * Cheers,
    Thorsten
