 * All the URL’s in our sitemap.xml file are https rather than http – is this an
   issue and will it affect Google Webmaster and/or Google Bot?

 * I wanted to report the same issue.
 * When sitemap is auto-rebuilt and admin area is SSL
    (**FORCE_SSL_ADMIN**) then
   all urls in sitemap are https://
 * manual rebuild from admin area or rebuild with GET is okey and urls are http://
   just as expected.

 * Our site has 20k+ pages so the manual rebuild does not always work – any idea
   if Google cares about whether the URLs are HTTP or HTTPS?

 * http and https are different sites for google, as i know.
    and its generally 
   bad idea to have same pages available under https and http, i use redirect rules
   for public site.
 * however, if you have _link rel canonical_ specified – SE should use it and index
   the proper page.

 * All my site pages have the following so in theory should be fine:
 * <link rel=”canonical” href=”[http://www.beerinfinity.com/page-static-url/&#8221](http://www.beerinfinity.com/page-static-url/&#8221);/

 * Same problem here. It would be greade, if Google XML Sitemaps uses the sites 
   base url from the configuration to use as base url for the sitemaps.

 * Today I found the same problem on my site. And I need to add that I am ~99% sure
   that this is a new issue. I tested sitemaps initially when I installed this plugin(
   several months ago) and also inbetween when updates happened. And I saw no problems.
   
   Today I saw this issue the first time, after updating WP to 3.7.1 on the weekend…
   not sure if it is related or if this problem started earlier.
 * Situation is the same: the BACKEND is on https, but the frontend is on http. 
   But the sitemap shows all URL’s as https, including even the xls stylesheet.
 * This is not good. The URL’s in the sitemap MUST refer to the configured frontend
   base URL, which is http and not https.
