Research direction

Start with core/filters.php and the FHTTPS_Core_Filters::content entry point, then review the plugins_loaded usage described in the issue. Confirm whether this output-buffer workaround belongs in the project's documentation; done means the guidance accurately covers the shown snippet and its mixed-content use case.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

I support the plugins current approach to replace URLs in specific instances but ran into some cases where exterior page content (driven by dynamic options) used insecure URLs. Until such time where we can track down those loose ends, this snippet fixes mixed content warnings. It may be helpful to others as part of your documentation:

require_once(FHTTPS_PATH.'/core/filters.php');
ob_start( array( FHTTPS_Core_Filters::instance(), 'content' ) );

I implemented it in a custom plugin, executing during the plugins_loaded action with checks to ensure the plugin is active.
