A slight correction here, the download of the exe does take place over https. As does buying the software, and signing up to the forums. But everything else doesn't?
The software itself is some of the smoothest and most stable I've ever used. And when there's an update within the software that, as far as I'm aware, takes place over https too.
But the rest of the site and forums, even when signed in, is http, and I don't really know why.
- wlesieutre 4y agoThe download itself is over https, but the page where you click the download link is http. If someone were going to MITM the executable, they can just MITM the download page instead and point the download button to their own server with the bad executable.
- chrisweekly 4y agoExactly; this is why mixed content is problematic, and the r'aison d'etre for HTTPS Everywhere.
