 * There are two issues in play that causes the pencil to be broken as reported 
   by other folks.
 * 1) The plugin assumes HTTP for all resources. Changing out http:// for just //
   makes it fetch resources based on the protocol used to call the admin panel (
   so mine now fetches with HTTPS).
 * 2) Unfortunately, you’re not out of the woods by editing just the plugin. JotForm
   assume HTTP calls in the bit of JS code that the plugin fetches. See [http://www.jotform.com/answers/494030-Secure-requests-for-JS-code-return-insecure-assets#0](http://www.jotform.com/answers/494030-Secure-requests-for-JS-code-return-insecure-assets#0)
 * So, even if you patch the plugin, it still won’t work because JotForm are returning
   insecure content references on a secure channel, and browsers don’t allow that.
