But can I ask, is the reasoning behind not enforcing SSL now in nginx down to concerns people are using older devices which wouldn't support it, or perhaps that there are other sites still using arbitrary HTTP links? No biggie as such, but it's easy to forget to manually add the HTTPS in the address bar if typing the URL. |

I think that the issue is mainly about older Amiga devices that don't support https.
There's a recent discussion here about moving the HOL to HTTPS. |

Thanks for the clarification. It does indeed make sense to keep HTTP for some of the informational sites. But tbh, when there's authentication involved, SSL should really be enabled imho. I'm sure those with older Amigas can find a more modern device for accessing the forums.

Actual version of iBrowse (version 2.5.x) works quite good with SSL sites. Of course most sites still look terrible but they can be loaded and basic information on the site can be viewed.

My thinking exactly. There are available options for Amiga users to browse SSL sites nowadays if they really want to.

Yes, as https is supported even on 3.x nowadays it's time to disable http.

I disagree: SSL is energy and effort consuming; it locks out/makes Amiga users' lives difficult; it doesn't answer any clear usercase in the context of EAB.

SSL is not really a use case, it is an expectancy of modern times. HTTP is deemed insecure and that realisation has bled through into the general public. Browsers start to treat such sites with hostility. There comes a point where you can't get out of it anymore even if you would want to.

PS. A very good read about HTTPs and its hidden costs.

At the very least the authentication could be moved to https even if you want to keep the data plaintext...

There's a crusade against HTTP sites led by Google, I guess to make people believe they are secure while they track every step of your life. Unfortunately not adopting HTTPS will lead to the site losing visibility and nobody wants that.
