 * I haven’t installed your plugin yet but I glanced at the code (particularly line
   105 of bruteprotect.php) and it looks like your plugin would not support sites
   served over SSL/https.
 * Can you tell me if you plan on officially supporting this or have I misread your
   code?
 * Thanks &
    Cheers,
 * Toby

 * Hey Toby– we definitely support SSL!
 * What you’re seeing on line 105 is immediately stripped back out, you just have
   to stick a protocol in front of a domain name for PHP’s parse_url function to
   work properly.
 * All communication between your server and ours happens over SSL whenever possible–
   if, for some reason, your host does NOT support secure remote posting, then we
   fall back to non-SSL.
 * Best,
    Sam

 * Gotcha!
 * If I had looked more closely, I would have seen what you are doing there. Good
   job, by the way, the plugin looks great.
 * Thanks
    Cheers!
