Thanks, that's one step in the right direction. Additionally, it would be great to consider (optionally) allowing https for all communications (not just logins) in your on-going security review of the site. Some claim SSL/TLS is not computationally expensive any more but that is of course subject to debate. Https everywhere is getting a lot of traction and the number of sites that supports https "all the way" is large and growing. It would be great to add perlmonks.org to the list: `$ ls https-everywhere/src/chrome/content/rules/*.xml \| wc -l 426` [download] Read more...

Yes, allowing https always is on the list after web server performance mitigation is sustained. - tye	[reply]

Count me in. I strongly support the widespread use of https.	[reply]
