You're not submitting data to him, so no benefit to protect you there.
There is a risk downloading the text. Does it warrant a signature? I don't think so.
When you hand out candy on Halloween you could include a digital signature with each piece you hand out. People receiving the candy would have more confidence it came from you, and not a bad guy wearing a mask, sitting on your front porch impersonating you.
Does everything need signatures? The stakes of accepting candy are much higher simple raw text.
- eecks 6y agoThis is a misunderstanding of the reasons to use https. ISPs can inject ads or other stuff if it's not https.

- seanwilson 6y ago> You're not submitting data to him, so no benefit to protect you there. This is a common misconception. If a page is using http, an attacker could add a sign-up form, a login form, a payment form, a malware download etc. or anything they want to the page to steal entered data or just redirect you to another malicious site, anything they want.
