BetaGreyrider Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 I noticed HTTPS for a while now is not part of this forum nor that of the Net-7 Portal. I was wondering if this will be implemented one of these days. As it stands now I believe the logins are sent cleartext over the internet and I am not a fan of that from a security piont of view. Ofcourse this is up to the devolpers when it comes to the implementation and most likely it comes at a cost (certificate's needed I am guessing). Personally for the forum itself it could stay as is. But for the Net-7 Portal I am more for an SSL/HTTPS implementation as this 1 covers all accounts linked to the masterlogin making "abuse" more likely. I wonder how you think/feel about it.
