For accessibility reasons, I make my sites available using HTTP.
It allows users to bypass using TLS in situations where it breaks being able to access the website, such as this one.
(There are many scenarios when TLS can break accessibility, and in many of them access to the information is more important than the integrity of the connection.)
- samus 3y agoI guess one could also set up a proxy server that terminates TLS and rewrites https links to http. That would considerably improve confidentiality (TLS is not about integrity. Integrity has to be added at the application layer!)
- forgotmypw17 3y agoI agree, and that is a great idea. It would not solve all the problems, since not every user can set this up for themselves, but it would help a lot in the retro-computing world.
