Only HTTPS access?

There're some methods of the OpenStrands API that may access sensible user information, but the others, like artist, album or tags information, why aren't they accessible without SSL?
Apart from this, any of the group users know if any lib or class made in PHP for accessing the OpenStrands REST services?
Thanks in advance.
First let me introduce myself. My name is Chris Mosbrucker, I am the technical lead/program manager for the OpenStrands team here at MyStrands.
The reason we have our services only accessible over https is so that we can protect your subscriberId. We require each person that is accessing our services to have a unique subscriberId, so that we can track usage. Since this subscriberId is sensitive information we like to protect it by sending it over https.
As for a PHP library to access our services. I am currently unaware of one. If the community knows of one please post here and let us know about it. We are interested in learning if there is enough interest in the community for a PHP lib. If so we can add it to our list of things to do, or if someone is interested in producing one and letting us distribute it in our sdk, that may be possible also.
Thanks,
Chris
Just trying to develop a PHP class to access the OpenStrands services. I was testing it with a easy example and i got this error:
invalid subscriberId [miId]
That is the subscriberId that you sent me and I just tried to get this URL:
https://www.mystrands.com/services/lookup/artists?id=15396&id=8625&subscriberId=[miId]
Could you tell me what's wrong with that? thanks!
