 * I have a dedicated SSL certificate for the site.
    I am having only certain pages
   of the site come up as 404 not found – it seems to be affecting all pages that
   are child pages (so top level pages work but 2nd level pages come back as 404
   not found). If I turn off custom permalinks the pages display fine. If I deactivate
   WordPress HTTP plugin the pages display normally using custom permalinks.
 * This started after I upgraded the site to WP 3.4.2 and the plugin to 3.1.2
 * The site error log has the following lines which may relate to this issue:
