 * Hello together,
 * thanks for your useful plugin! Found a small bug: When opening the “approve members”
   page via https, browsers recognize that there’s a picture on the page that is
   not transmitted ssl encrypted. The reason is the flag, which shows the new members
   origin. It’s not transmitted via https. Would appreciate if you could fix this
   and load the picture with the protocol the main site is using (http or https).

 * Not sure how feasible this is going to be, no matter how much I’d like to.
 * When I go to [http://api.hostip.info/flag.php?ip=YOUR_IP](http://api.hostip.info/flag.php?ip=YOUR_IP)
   with my actual IP entered, I get a flag image, when I go to [https://api.hostip.info/flag.php?ip=YOUR_IP](https://api.hostip.info/flag.php?ip=YOUR_IP)
   with the HTTPS I’m getting “Secure connection failed” and a detailed error of“
   An error occurred during a connection to api.hostip.info. SSL received a record
   that exceeded the maximum permissible length. (Error code: ssl_error_rx_record_too_long)”.
 * For what it’s worth, I am still considering trying to replace this API with something
   more consistent/better. I just haven’t found one yet. I will add to my GitHub
   issue about it to try and find one that supports both protocols though.
