Re: Firefox: security vs flexibility or rtfm?



Hi Mark,

I think Mozilla's position is reasonable since if you allow this
sort of thing to remain possible, nobody will fix anything. Broken
software will ship with instructions for the users to "just make an
exception".

Would it be feasible to put a proxy in front of the HTTP-only
service, that consumes HTTP on its backend and exposes HTTPS on its
frontend?

That way, the burden is on the administrator rather than the
end-user, which is probably a fairer division of labour.

Cheers,
Andy
