In reply to: Does WP Autosave use a secure transmission protocol?Thank you very much, Jan. I don’t know why it took me so long to understand what now seems a straightforward issue, but it was all quite unfamiliar. Plus I had gotten sidetracked with setting up FileZilla and thought there was a connection. Nope. However all’s well that ends well. Our web hosting service, BlueHost, is set up to handle SSL sites and there’s no impact on the work I’ve done to date. And their tech representative pointed me to the same article you referenced, so I was beginning to head in the right direction.
Thank you again for your quick response.

In reply to: Does WP Autosave use a secure transmission protocol?Update from Martt Harding:
I may have found the answer. AJAX is evidently a background XML-based process that allows particular items on a webpage to be updated by the server as a result of interaction with the browser’s user, without the server having to re-send the entire page. So I THINK this means that if the WP website is http://xxx and thus not protected for transmission security, then the AJAX transactions will not be secured either. If this is correct I will have to revise the my website so it is running under Secure Sockets Layer protocol (i.e. https://xxx) in order to protect the media files transmitted by AJAX as part of the Autosave process.
Please advise if my supposition is correct. If not, please provide details.
