 * Hi,
 * How can we exactly implement this soon to be required…
 * `Note: Obtaining an SSL certificate for your web domain is strongly recommended.
   When Facebook users browse the website in HTTPS mode, you need to be able to 
   present your embedded content at an HTTPS address also. Facebook has set a deadline
   of October 1, 2011 for developers to provide an HTTPS address for any external
   content displayed as an app or page tab.`
 * I believe I have to pay for the https hosting but do we have to install another
   WP on https environment? Is there a step by step process to prepare my WP for
   this?
 * Thanks

 * If you arrange for your site to be upgraded to SSL with the host, you should 
   be all set for purposes of this plugin. No, you don’t have to do another WP install.
 * To take advantage of the added security so your site is less likely to be hacked,
   you might want to change a couple of parameters in your configuration file to
   protect your password and admin screens. Those are laid out near the top of this
   document:

 * If you’re not super technical, don’t worry about the more detailed material at
   the bottom of the page.

 * Thanks for that David.
 * Sorry for being noob about this ssl but let say I have no ssl, what will happen
   to the plugin? what will happen to my tabs? Will it stops working?
 * Thanks

 * If Facebook decides to be strict about this, they might just render your tab 
   inaccessible. Or maybe they will allow some grace period, or give some warning,
   and just not allow new apps and tabs that aren’t available at a secure address.
   You’re kind of at the mercy of their whim if you decide to test it.
