    By this I mean, if I launch a site where the URLs in the WordPress Address and Site Address setting in Settings -> General are HTTPS, will all of the URLs generated by the framework and templates (even for CSS files, JS, files, etc.) begin with "https://..." so as to avoid browser warnings about unsecure content?

    I don't really want to spend the money on a certificate only to find my visitors are getting warnings because the framework and/or Showcase child theme are emitting a mixture of HTTP and HTTPS URLs.

    Thanks!

    Thanks Brad for the link. I understand that WordPress itself can handle HTTPS. But I am more concerned with whether or not the HTML rendered by the Genesis Framework and associated child themes (specifically Showcase) would contain HTTPS links for all referenced objects like images, CSS, JS, canonical link elements, etc. if I set the WordPress Address and Site Address settings in Settings -> General to HTTPS URLs.

    If the theme/framework does not render all references as HTTPS in cases where the WordPress Address and Site Address settings are HTTPS URLs, then its a bad user experience due to the browser warnings that visitors are going to see.

    Genesis uses WordPress functions to build URLs. There are no hard coded URLs. Whatever WordPress is set for, Genesis will follow. Where you will most likely have problems is custom code and plugins.
