Hi all,
My Firefox browser has recenlty suggested I install their new HTTPS - with HTTPS Everywhere. I like security, but is this going to cause me problems. I do not run servers to host my web pages,- built with Xara.
I understand that by having every website as an HTTPS, they say it will make the WWW a safer place?
As I understnad the hype with all this is that it will be the ISP servers that have to change, if that is so will Xara's products still work, or will I have to create new web pages for HTTPS.
You can porbably read between the lines, I am not up to running speed on this subject, I want to know more and am reading what I can find.
Does anyone within Xara have any opinoins on this subject, will you be creating web sites that run via HTTPS only?

Steve, you've missed the point: EFF (https://www.eff.org/https-everywhere/faq) are providing a whitelist of sites:
"HTTPS Everywhere is a Firefox, Chrome, and Opera extension that encrypts your communications with many major websites, making your browsing more secure."
It is nothing really to with Xara-designed sites; you would still have to pay for an htpps site capability.
