why akiba-online doesn't use https?
just wonderingA real (not self generated) certificate requires money... A self-signed cert is somewhat safe, but forgery is easyMany people would click okay anyway if presented with a warning that the certificate had changedMany hosts charge extra for supporting SSL. Not sure what is used here, or what, but it's not always as easy as just pushing a button to enable it.I have no idea what you are talking aboutbut we are looking into it, at least I have passed the info onI was just listing possible reasons that there was no SSL support. I've hosted, of course shared hosting, several small sites, and it was a pain to get a signed certificate so users wouldn't be threatened with bad things happening if they clicked ok for a self generated certificate. And the host always wanted more money for SSL (https) than a hosting package that doesn't include it.I don't know what akiba-online runs on or anything, so it was more of a list of why someone may choose to not run their site in https.
