 * For security purposes I access my blog (admin part) using HTTPS. But Google has
   indexed both versions of the site (HTTP and HTTPS). And it seems that this a 
   duplicate content issue.
 * Is there a way to add “noindex” to the entire HTTPS site using WordPress SEO 
   by Yoast?
 * If that is not possible, is there a way to have the rel=”canonical” pointing 
   to the HTTP version of the site (even when a page is accesed over HTTPS)?
 * Thanks in adveance for your help.
 * PS: I don’t want to use 301 redirects, because I need to be able to access the
   admin part of the blog over HTTPS (don’t want to send the password unencrypted
   over the wire when traveling).
