 * I’m running a site that’s using SSL. As a result, the avatars that are served
   into the Twitter via http do not appear and the console throws up an error.
    
   The images are still available at the https address, not just the http one. Is
   there a way to force the https version to be linked, rather than the unsecured
   ones?

 * Similar issue. On an https site, using this plugin with avatars shown results
   in a “triangle” instead of “padlock” icon for site security in the browser. This
   is because the avatars are rendered from an http src instead of https, and so
   the site “contains unencrypted elements”.
 * Any way to fix this?

 * Hi Lsnewton and wunch,
    Greetings !!
 * Thanks for using our plugin.
 * Background , Avatar Images and JavaScript served by Twitter come from a variety
   of CDN (Content Delivery Networks) to improve delivery performance. When serving
   images We must be careful not to leak information about the user’s connection.
   For example, if Our API connection is via HTTPS, We should also show avatar images
   from HTTPS. We must also include the CA certificates for all of Twitter’s CDN
   roots if your code is responsible for making the HTTPS connections to those servers.
 * So in your case you are using SSL and in the plugin we have not used any SSL 
   certificates yet.
 * Please Let us know if you need more help.
 * Thanks & Regards

 * Hello [@lsnewton](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lsnewton/) and [@wunch](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wunch/),
   
   Greetings!
 * We have now updated our plugin to use HTTPS in avatar image calling, so you can
   try this new code on HTTPS too.
 * Thanks
