Title: https support?
Post by: Garrett on November 10, 2008, 09:51:36 AM: Would it cost extra to have the site support https? Would it require a lot of work to add support? If no too both questions, would it meaningful to add support?

Firefox is a certificate nazi. You can safely ignore 90% of it's warnings on the subject.

+1. I had to add a certificate to use https on this site on Firefox :(.

Post by: Garrett on November 11, 2008, 09:31:07 AM: Thats why. Would it be practical to move the current home page to the dplogin host?

I could, but I don't want to tax the server too much and/or go over the bandwidth limit.

Even then with how long planet quake and gamespy hav been around im sure they have quite a few safety measures in place. I would be more worried about catching a bug from searching for them thar naughty movies. ;)
