 * I’ve realised that the garbage css code in HTML was exactly what I wanted my 
   links to look like.
 * I’ve added the above css code to style.css in my child theme, and voila! It worked!
 * This definitely looks like a bug to me. Not sure if it has been taken care of
   in WP 3.3.2. No desire to dig throught the code either – sorry about that!
 * Best regards,

 * Hello,
 * I just wasted quite a few hours of my life by trying to make wordpress-https 
   work for shared SSL scenario.
 * As metakong’s mentioned, the key word is: the lack of documentation.
 * Removing the plugin from the file system doesn’t clean up WordPress installation:
 *     ```
       mysql> select * from wp_options where option_name like 'wordpress-https%';

 * vs.
 *     ```
       $ grep delete_option plugins/wordpress-https/uninstall.php
       delete_option('wordpress-https_external_urls');
       delete_option('wordpress-https_unsecure_external_urls');
       delete_option('wordpress-https_ssl_host');
       delete_option('wordpress-https_ssl_port');
       delete_option('wordpress-https_exclusive_https');
       delete_option('wordpress-https_frontpage');
       delete_option('wordpress-https_ssl_admin');
       delete_option('wordpress-https_ssl_host_subdomain');
       ```
   
 * I wish [those simple instructions from the parallel thread](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-https-ssl-cant-log-in-to-wordpress-after-enabling-force-ssl-administration)
   could have been published as part of documentation:
    `DELETE FROM wp_options 
   WHERE option_name LIKE 'wordpress-https%';` Somehow WPHTTPS_RESET leaves the 
   garbage as per above select query :o(.
 * I have a feeling that in order to make this particular plugin to work, quite 
   a few unstated conditions have to be met.
 * I am mostly into a scenario, where WordPress Address (URL) and Site Address (
   URL) point at the same insecure virtual host, while shared SSL access is provided
   via alternative URL.
 * Most likely, in these circumstances, WordPress has to be deployed with multisite
   option, and WordPress Address (URL) should point at the shared SSL access via
   alternative URL.
 * Would it be a correct assumption?!
 * Back to the lack of the documentation, how option wordpress-https_ssl_host relates
   to WordPress Address (URL) and Site Address (URL)?
 * Oh, well, it could be a repeat of the previous question, sorry!
 * Cheers,
    John Smith
