# HTTPS / SSL

 * Is there a way to force HTTPS image responses from the Amazon API?
    This way 
   we can host images from the API on https:// webpages without breaking them. Currently
   the API returns HTTP.
 * I tried modifying awsRequest.php as follows:
    $request = “[https://&#8221](https://&#8221);.
   $host.$uri.”?”.$canonicalized_query.”&Signature=”.$signature;
 * My hope was by sending a secure request we would get secure responses, but no
   luck with that.
 * I made a donation for ongoing development of this great plugin.

 * Hi,
 * I can look into it, do you mean just change the current image URL from:
 * `http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/518FFDVWNQL.SY115.jpg`
 * to:
 * `https://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/518FFDVWNQL.SY115.jpg`
 * When I tried to display the second URL in the browser I got warning about the
   link not being properly certificated. Might cause issues on your site?

 * Oh good point, their certificate isn’t valid. I guess there is no reason to do
   this then.
 * So for any others looking at this thread in the future — as of now the only solution
   is to host the images yourself and use your own ssl certificate where they are
   hosted.
