Can the webmaster please start serving pages via HTTPS?

Lol good one

It's been many years since I had a proper account, but I would assume logging in and out and payment are all secured. I can't see what gain there would be from making the front-end https though.

It would benefit primarily the visitors by making all exchanges confidential between client and server. If anyone was packet sniffing (tech term for eavesdropping) they wouldn't be able to see what they are reading or submitting on the forum.

Why packet sniff if they could just open up their browser and read what people are writing? Again, outside of logging and out, dealing with messaging, and payment, there is just no logical need for it in a public forum with no viewing restrictions. What is your hypothetical scenario that has you concerned?

Because clear text packets identify the IP and complete data. If the owner switched to https any packet sniffer would only see ip address and unreadable encrypted data. Yes whoever could read the site but wouldn't know who wrote it unless the owner gives it to them.

^ what he said.

:1data1:

I don't think you know, who you are dealing with.

Pleez Mr. Webmaster.. i found this uber-leet .c script on script-kiddie.com but it only works on https enabled sites.. given the number of potential victims on this forum, I think it would be great if this was made available to me.. mmkay.?

Your moving pic has lg donkey dentures

Who getto in disguise, phony pic of a jew

On a totally unrelated note;
I want to register an account, and they say it is FREE;

Is it really free, or do they make you pay?

(tough money times...)

Anyone?

Anyone can speak thier voice, in public or on the net or via phone,
as long there is no threat, so who are you talking about the mods, admin on glp lol

suppose you read an encrypted page. suppose the page is also available unencrypted. that means that "whoever" can easily tell what you read, AND they now have a message encrypted for you and the plain text of that message as well. ie: you would have LESS security under this plan.

^^^^

Just have a circuit switch and have trinity operating the switch board

What crawled up your ass? I am not even talking about scripts, I simply asked the admin if it was possible to enable a security feature. No need to be a cunt about it.



I don't get it. Is making a request on GLP frowned upon or something? My thread wasn't intended to come off as rude.

This makes the opposite of sense.

That's not how it works. If you use a packet monitoring solution, you will see that this is not true while HTTPS is specified in the address bar.

Also, the request was merely for users who don't want others knowing what they are viewing/posting on the forum for a variety of reasons.

I was banned for making this suggestion in the past.

Why? What exactly so offensive about requesting this?

They never give a reason for being banned. I assume it's because they don't care about privacy.

Answered right there

Why would they?

What does that even mean??? Why is this so taboo on glp?

No nothing was answered. Unless you are hiding something you answer a question in plane speak and without alluding to anything.

Why would a web master hide his reason for not honoring a simple request to make the site more secures for its users?

That's an interesting request to not answer and ban for.

Wouldnt you all agree?

Thank you. I was wondering wtf was going on after reading several of the responses in this thread.

WTF is going on is that there is a secret. Your request was a perfectly reasonable one and it is a easy addition to every ones privacy and security that would make a very big difference.

Ppl trying to paint you as a bad person or stupid for asking was a sloppy and idiotic way to handle keeping whatever this secret is.

So. now you know there is a secret.

PS. To hell with whoever said you dont know who you are dealing with. I am American and will say what I please about what I please.
