    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.

      Who said I log into anything? I have terabytes of files archived, without any accounts anywhere. I’m not that stupid.
