When people run into problems like this, it would be great if you could tell the site operator (so they can fix their broken HTTPS support) or the HTTPS Everywhere developers (so we can take the rule out of HTTPS Everywhere). We have rules for over 1100 sites in the development version and we don't use most of those sites ourselves, so we're very reliant on reports from other people to help find these problems. Sometimes, part of a site works properly in HTTPS and part doesn't, but perhaps the person who originally created the HTTPS Everywhere rule didn't discover the problematic parts. Of course, the very best solution would be for the sites to fix the compatibility issues because they want people to be accessing the sites securely! -- Seth Schoen <sch...@eff.org> Senior Staff Technologist https://www.eff.org/ Electronic Frontier Foundation https://www.eff.org/join 454 Shotwell Street, San Francisco, CA 94110 +1 415 436 9333 x107 _______________________________________________ tor-talk mailing list tor-talk@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
