I'm curious as to why wikimedia is even offering all their content over ssl in the first place.
- studer 16y agoYeah, why would anyone ever want to access information over an encrypted channel?
- kqr2 16y agoThis might be useful in a country where the government censors certain topics.
- stipes 16y agoThe government would still know (if they were logging traffic) that you accessed the page. In this case, as it is publicly accessible, the encryption is fairly meaningless.
- studer 16y agoThe HTTP request is also encrypted, so figuring out what page you accessed on a site with millions of pages isn't quite as easy as you make it sound...
