They do it for caching purposes? What if some destination HTTPS servers return incorrect caching headers for sensitive data, because, hey, the content is encrypted so public caches have no way to store it. But now, Nokia caches can potentially store such sensitive content and leak it.
- Coincoin 14y agoIt's so they can compress the data and save on your data plan. You can't compress encrypted stuff, so they temporarily decrypt it, compress then reencrypt. They could have turned it off for HTTPS data though, but then all the mails would not get compressed and people would have said the browser doesn't work.
- obituary_latte 14y agoI understood it to be compression, not caching: >...and reiterated the point of the Xpress Browser’s compression capabilities... Seems like they are talking about what is going on on their network between the browser and the destination.
