 * Hi Guys,
 * Firstly thank you for the plugin – I love it and generally it works great.
 * I’m running WP on amazon server, since I added amazon SSL cert – the backWPup
   plugin started to fail due to the below error. However in every other aspect 
   the ssl works fine.
 * “Server self connect: Not expected HTTP response:
    WP Http Error: error:140770FC:
   SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:unknown protocol”
 * appreciate your help.
 * Much thanks
