API Notifications are sent using a HTTP connection not HTTPS

I need to post new signup info to an external IP address which requires an API key to be sent to validate the request.

Under the API / Notifications area i can see that it says “Signup Notifications take place silently behind-the-scenes, using an HTTP connection.”

is there any reason that it does not utilise HTTPS?

Am i missing a setting somewhere to enable HTTPS API communication?

You must start your notification URL with “https://” and it will works. HTTPS is just a part of the bigger HTTP protocol.
