Why does the https redirect to http? Symantec can't afford to give itself a certificate? the java server pages application that serves the main site has extended validation https://www.symantec.com/index.jsp https://www.symantec.com/index.jsp but connect doesn't. It seems like https://www.symantec.com/connect/ https://www.symantec.com/connect/ redirects to http://www.symantec.com/connect/ http://www.symantec.com/connect/ r.port="https"===o[0]?"443":"80" Why can't Symantec afford to put ssl on its connect site? It is not like they have to pay anyone for a certificate...
