Hello!

I use jquery with basic authentification for sending get-requests:

```auto
               $.get({
			dataType: 'json',
			url: "", 
			crossDomain: true,
			beforeSend: function(xhr) {
				xhr.setRequestHeader('Authorization', "Basic " + btoa("username:password"));
			},
                        success: function(data) {
				$("#div").append("data");
	                }
		})

```

Is it possible to use https instead of http? And how can I modify authentification to make my web-site and wowza secured?

Thank you!
