This push to HTTPS is a Google wide thing. Using https does not stop the videos being downloaded, there are a multitude of tools that pull video and audio off YouTube as files already and all deal with https.
What they don't want to do is to allow users to view videos with them being able to insert ads. It's a commercial decision.

Other than the login page, I don't see why video streaming from youtube can not use http in the same time, will someone wiretap this http-video-stream on some LAN to get a copy of those videos? http will resolve all the problems, most other video sites are doing both http/https. xxiao On 02/25/2016 09:30 AM, squid-users-requ...@lists.squid-cache.org wrote: > Re: [squid-users] Youtube "challenges" _______________________________________________ squid-users mailing list squid-users@lists.squid-cache.org http://lists.squid-cache.org/listinfo/squid-users
