  I’ve been able to downgrade https sites to plain http sites, through a series of loopholes which I won’t go into.

    That’s nice, be sure to tell us how it goes when HSTS is enabled

      Checks own servers…

      Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=63072000; includeSubDomains; preload

      Yeah, I’d like to see that…

        Anything on the archive can be accessed via simple http, regardless of whether the original site was https or not.

    So you’ve… compromised your own security. Grats?

      My own security? Hah, that’s a joke right?

      Everything on the Internet Archive can be accessed via simple http, even if the original archived site was https.

        All that does is allow someone in the middle to potentially read your traffic. So what’s secret about the traffic between you and the Internet archive? If it’s only your login details, that seems like a you problem.

        It wasn’t long ago that most of the internet was http only.
