These guys receive requests from mobile devices. Afaik sending unencrypted HTTP requests is not allowed on some platforms (e.g. iOS).

You can disable transport security for a certain domain using the plist key NSAppTransportSecurity. But you rarely should do this :)

First, they can offer both http and https endpoints. Second, you can send HTTP request if you set NSAllowsArbitraryLoads=true.
