 * Hi,
 * As a lot of other people I enjoy this plugin and find it very useful and simple
   to use.
 * However I have a problem which is a repeat of another (now closed but unanswered)
   topic:
 * The folder protection causes problems on a https site. A forbidden error message
   is received when a download is attempted.
 * When folder protection is turned off everything works fine.
 * Any ideas about this?

 * Same issue here. Everything was fine until I switched my site to SSL. The only
   way the files will load now (without a 403) is if I tick the box that reveals
   the whole URL, and then the file opens in an insecure window. I can’t believe
   there are so many questions about this with no response from devs.
