There is nothing insecure about it. We allow both HTTP and HTTPS connections.
If you use the incorrect hostname over HTTPS you get an invalid cert, because the hostname you told the browser to use does not match the cert. The solution is to use the correct hostname. If you use HTTP some browsers give a warning that they don't like HTTP. The solution is to either ignore it because that's silly, or use HTTPS (correctly). The server and browser both respond appropriately to what is, at the base case, a user error. --Greg On Fri, May 2, 2025, 1:44 PM David Haslam <dfh...@protonmail.com> wrote: > It remains the case that the list archive / server > <http://crosswire.org/mailman/listinfo/sword-devel> has an insecure > connection that uses only HTTP. > > We should upgrade it ASAP to use HTTPS to avoid all the Browser Warnings! > > It's 2025 now.
