"A former exec at one of Google's competitors explained what is possibly their real motive. Google doesn't want its competitors to write bots that scrape their search engine. So why not just encrypt all access to google.com? I asked. Because bits of Google code are embedded in other people's pages. Google Analytics, YouTube, maps. I immediately understood. The way HTTPS works, if any component of a page is not secure then all other accesses are not. " A little help here, what stops me from writing a bot that can do https and get the info from the page?
