Download of PDFs via HTTPS

[fhamborg]

I couldnt find an option in the settings pane to enable/force download via HTTPS. Is there a possibility to do this somewhere? Where in the code would that need to be changed? I'd gladly provide a patch for that if you could point me to where to start.

Hi, no there is no option to do so.

If you want to force this, you have to modify the function getDataFile : the WP_CONTENT_URL contains the base URL; you should thus replace the prefix.

If you want to submit a patch, please provide an option (just look at the occurrences of the use_files option) to turn this off or on.

I've added corresponding adaptions to papercite.php. Is there any other file, which requires further adaptions? I had a look at the papercite_options.php but couldn't find your example of use_files in there, so I guess not?

any update on this?
