I don't get it. What does it do stop redirecting users to the https version?

- colmmacc 10y agoThere is no (working!) https version of the domain. I own/maintain neverssl.com and I'll be doing my best to make sure that it can never poison the intended experience. I use it myself. Basically, it's designed to be easy to remember, and over time I'll deploy whatever "Nope, really use HTTP" workarounds are available as TLS-by-default, and maybe even DANE, gain traction. The difference between neverssl.com and others is just that "guarantee" and the slightly tongue-in-cheek text that tries to make it clear to users what's going on. Actually right now I'm on a plane, between Newark and Seattle, and just typed it in to log in ... only to see it featured on HackerNews. Mind Blown. I'm coming back from 7 days spent with other implementors of TLS, and it's something I stay up to date on. That's it. It's pretty weird that example.com does not use https:// https:// , I expect it will in the near-future. Part of its job is to set a good ... example.

- kowdermeister 10y ago> so that the wifi provider's login page can be displayed without an SSL error AHA! That's it. Now it makes sense.
