Magento Enterprise Full Page Cache under SSL

Normally the Full Page Caching of Magento Enterprise doesn't work under SSL / HTTPS. This extension overcome this limitation.

Typically e-commerce sites use HTTPS only for checkout, account page, sign-in, registration etc... However, since Google's announcement "HTTPS as a ranking signal" on the 6th Aug 2014, we expect merchants to start adopting HTTPS for the whole site.

This would be a major problem, especially for Magento Enterprise sites. More details can be found on the Elastera's blog "Why Google’s advice on HTTPS will screw your Magento site"

We've encountered Devs and Ops of a merchant blaming each other at length fo the performance issues, due to the above. We hope this will help merchants avoid a possibly a costly and frustrating issue.
