[Geomoose-users] Identify with a https WMS source

[Dan Little]

Just a tip for those who may be in a mixed HTTP/HTTPS environment:

If you know your remote services support HTTPS and HTTP then you can use a
"schemaless" URL in order to specify the URL:

* //my.server.com/wms?
* //a.all-tiles.io/tileset/${x}/${y}/${z}.png

Cheers.
