      Description

      The CAPTCHA question type in the Feedback module does not display anything if the Moodle site is using HTTPS.

      The activity uses an implementation of reCAPTCHA, which requires the API request for the challenge to be made via HTTPS if the site is using HTTPS. However it is currently coded to always make the request via HTTP.
