@nightpool @notclacke @schmittlauch I understand the frustration with http and https. Have you ever seen Tim Berners-Lee's "Web Security - TLS Everywhere, not https: URIs"?

https://www.w3.org/DesignIssues/Security-NotTheS.html

His argument is, of course we should have a cryptographic layer, but we shouldn't have two different uri schemes for the same resource served as unencrypted/encrypted... instead, there should be one uri scheme, and the encryption selection bit should be a protocol negotiation concern. I 100% agree.
