Updated to 1.4.9 today, SSL is on automatically

Just a warning really. Updated to 1.4.9 and it seems the config sets itself to SSL , I am not using this as an option on my test site and of course it produced an error when clicking on the mini cart. Once SSl was turned off in Hikashop all is well again

We don't have such change in HikaShop and we didn't had any report so far even though hikashop 1.4.9 has been out for a week.
You either:
-updated from a previous version where SSL wasn't working properly and you had it activated, so when you updated the option kicked in.
-turned on that feature at one point before or after the update.

Hmm, I just used akeeba backup to restore my site to before I updated it (wonderful product!) and I didnt have SSL on then. spooky. nevermind, it works !
