Re: browser support of HTTP -- MIDRANGE-L

× The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.

The only real loss is the electricity needed to enable HTTPS, it's not hard
at all to just plop a reverse proxy in front of whatever site/sites you
need to secure and autorenew certs with Let's Encrypt or your own internal
CA....

Personally, I regard the dropping of support for HTTP as a big win for
e-commerce sites, for those who monetize information, and for those who
profit from upgrade treadmills.

And a big loss for the original concept of the Internet as a vehicle for
the *free and open* exchange of information.
