Hi,

I was slightly surprised to discover that after upgrading to a pro account, the API was redirecting me to https.
I can just about buy that for the web interface, but I think it should be a user decision for the API.

Why? Well, by default the LWP library doesn't handle https requests, you need to install an additional
distribution from CPAN. And for some people I think it might not be obvious why their requests have started failing.

Obviously I'll document this for the Perl API I'm working on, but thought I'd mention it :-)

Neil,

  We're going to fix this this in the next Checkvist update.
  I agree that for API calls we probably shouldn't redirect users to HTTPS.
