should be https

It looks like the browserstack API doesn't (fully) support HTTPS. It just redirects to HTTP.

ah you're right, doesn't matter for my case but some clients might care

Well, in the current state I'm afraid it won't work on HTTPS as redirection on POST requests can be tricky. It isn't straight forward. However if you care about it, patches are welcome. I imagine it isn't that difficult to implement.

I'm going to close this, but if BrowserStack starts supporting HTTPS I'll gladly switch.
