BUWP and HTTPS

I finished migrating my site to HTTPS. Everything works except for BUWP. Backups will not run. They silently fail.
If I fall back to http, BUWP works.

I have a squid reverse proxy in place. The HTTPS connection from the internet terminates at the squid interface. Squid then translates the HTTPS traffic to http and sends it to the webserver.

I have to make one change to load.php and that is to force https all the time. I did this by changing line 982 in load.php from “return false” to “return true”

I also set the site address to https://… and had to leave the wordpress address set to https://…. Squid is not the only product that does this https->http translation. Load balancers also do this.

That is the extent of the changes I made to wordpress.

Here comes the big questions. What change(s) are needed to force BUWP to use HTTPS? It isn’t obvious to me what those changes might be.

For now, I wrote my own backup script because all the other WP backup solutions suck.
