General Discussion • Re: Enforced https on public sites

Nothing forbids it (technically) but is sort of a nuisance ...

1. I have to get "true" certificates (luckily oyr sysman can issue them ... and did)
2. I'd have to learn how to configure my apache for SSL, which is something I'd gladly do without (like learning to fish or drive a car). I'd preferred to remove at all SSL support (for the unused webmailer which I can drop)
3. at the moment I'm using for a specific task a little old utility on 8080 which can use only http. So the few HTML pages transferring control to them fail if they are called as https. This means I can't one a two-liner Rewrite rule http->https but I'd have to write an adhoc one excluding those few pages. Again I'd have better ways to spend my time ...
