Personally, I do every project through HTTPS only because a client had an atrocious corporate HTTP proxy cache that ignored expiry headers and assumed two files were equal because they had the same name or some shenanigans. Dealing with the endpoints (server and browser) is enough for me, thanks.
- cesarb 11y agoFor a while, my ISP was using some sort of transparent proxy cache, which for some reason tended to stall HTTP connections (stuck in SYN-SENT IIRC). There were days when the only sites I could access were the ones using HTTPS, since the transparent proxy cache didn't touch them. The most advertised gain from using TLS is security, but to me an equally important gain is not having to deal with broken middleboxes.
