> Also I assume when the author says "http" he means "https" there are very few (I knew only one and even they used https termination by Akamai) providers who use "http" these days for streaming even with DRM. For what the guide is, I think HTTP is accurate enough, as HTTPS is not its own protocol, it's always HTTP+TLS/SSL, so just saying HTTP is good enough. The ones that need to add the extension, will know so. For video editors (and other parts of the target for this guide), it's more than likely superfluous information. Also, as far as I know, DRM and HTTPS have different use cases. The DRM we see in browsers are around controlling playback on the client device, not encrypting the content to/from the media server/client device, while HTTPS is the opposite. So if they are using DRM or not doesn't matter when we talk about using HTTPS or not.
