The cost to have someone fix absolute/non-absolute href links will far exceed the cost of SSL or an extra IP. So expect to see a broken landscape of websites post implementation.
- parasubvert 13y agoWhy would links suddenly break? It's not like HTTP/1 will ever go away.
- jjoe 13y agoNon-ssl rendering of local hrefs is lenient. Browsers don't complain. With forced ssl, however, badly constructed hrefs will force the browser to complain that a SSL enabled website has non-ssl hrefs. Most people don't understand that a href needs to be absolute or how to easily fix it.
- parasubvert 13y agoyou're presuming that a web application would serve a page up with HTTP/2 and not test their embedded hrefs for the user experience? more likely legacy pages will remain HTTP/1
