GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 782443
Use more secure HTTPS URLs in HTML
Last modified: 2018-09-21 15:28:43 UTC
There are links in the bottom of the list archives [1], mostly in the footer, still “insecure” HTTP URLs are used. Most of them are redirected to HTTPS, so using HTTPS URLs would also save one request/redirect. ``` <div id="footer_community"></div> <div id="footer_grass"></div> <div id="footer"> <div class="container_12" id="container_12"> <div class="links grid_9"> <div class="menu-footer-container"> <ul id="menu-footer" class="menu"> <li id="menu-item-1048" class= "menu-item menu-item-type-custom menu-item-object-custom current-menu-item current_page_item menu-item-1048"> <a href="http://www.gnome.org">The GNOME Project</a> <ul class="sub-menu"> <li id="menu-item-1049" class= "menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-1049"> <a href="https://www.gnome.org/about/">About Us</a></li> <li id="menu-item-1050" class= "menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-1050"> <a href="https://www.gnome.org/get-involved/">Get Involved</a></li> <li id="menu-item-1051" class= "menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-1051"> <a href="https://www.gnome.org/teams/">Teams</a></li> <li id="menu-item-1053" class= "menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-1053"> <a href="https://www.gnome.org/support-gnome/">Support GNOME</a></li> <li id="menu-item-1054" class= "menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-1054"> <a href="https://www.gnome.org/contact/">Contact Us</a></li> <li id="menu-item-2246" class= "menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-2246"> <a href="https://www.gnome.org/foundation/">The GNOME Foundation</a></li> </ul> </li> <li id="menu-item-1047" class= "menu-item menu-item-type-custom menu-item-object-custom menu-item-1047"> <a href="#">Resources</a> <ul class="sub-menu"> <li id="menu-item-1055" class= "menu-item menu-item-type-custom menu-item-object-custom menu-item-1055"> <a href="https://developer.gnome.org">Developer Center</a></li> <li id="menu-item-1056" class= "menu-item menu-item-type-custom menu-item-object-custom menu-item-1056"> <a href="https://help.gnome.org">Documentation</a></li> <li id="menu-item-1057" class= "menu-item menu-item-type-custom menu-item-object-custom menu-item-1057"> <a href="https://wiki.gnome.org">Wiki</a></li> <li id="menu-item-1058" class= "menu-item menu-item-type-custom menu-item-object-custom menu-item-1058"> <a href="https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo">Mailing Lists</a></li> <li id="menu-item-1059" class= "menu-item menu-item-type-custom menu-item-object-custom menu-item-1059"> <a href="https://wiki.gnome.org/GnomeIrcChannels">IRC Channels</a></li> <li id="menu-item-1060" class= "menu-item menu-item-type-custom menu-item-object-custom menu-item-1060"> <a href="https://bugzilla.gnome.org/">Bug Tracker</a></li> <li id="menu-item-1061" class= "menu-item menu-item-type-custom menu-item-object-custom menu-item-1061"> <a href="https://git.gnome.org/browse/">Development Code</a></li> <li id="menu-item-1062" class= "menu-item menu-item-type-custom menu-item-object-custom menu-item-1062"> <a href="https://wiki.gnome.org/Jhbuild">Build Tool</a></li> </ul> </li> <li id="menu-item-1046" class= "menu-item menu-item-type-custom menu-item-object-custom menu-item-1046"> <a href="https://www.gnome.org/news">News</a> <ul class="sub-menu"> <li id="menu-item-1063" class= "menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-1063"> <a href="https://www.gnome.org/press/">Press Releases</a></li> <li id="menu-item-1064" class= "menu-item menu-item-type-custom menu-item-object-custom menu-item-1064"> <a href="https://www.gnome.org/start/stable">Latest Release</a></li> <li id="menu-item-1065" class= "menu-item menu-item-type-custom menu-item-object-custom menu-item-1065"> <a href="https://planet.gnome.org">Planet GNOME</a></li> <li id="menu-item-1067" class= "menu-item menu-item-type-custom menu-item-object-custom menu-item-1067"> <a href="https://news.gnome.org">Development News</a></li> <li id="menu-item-1068" class= "menu-item menu-item-type-custom menu-item-object-custom menu-item-1068"> <a href="https://identi.ca/gnome">Identi.ca</a></li> <li id="menu-item-1069" class= "menu-item menu-item-type-custom menu-item-object-custom menu-item-1069"> <a href="https://twitter.com/gnome">Twitter</a></li> </ul> </li> </ul> </div> </div> <div id="footnotes" class="grid_9"> <p> Copyright © 2005 - <span id="current-year"></span> <a href="https://www.gnome.org/"><strong>The GNOME Project</strong></a>.<br /> <small><a href="http://validator.w3.org/check/referer">Optimised</a> for <a href= "http://www.w3.org/">standards</a>.

I'd say things should go to '//' instead of explicit 'http://' or 'https://'
(In reply to André Klapper from comment #1) > I'd say things should go to '//' instead of explicit 'http://' or 'https://' Why? If there is a secure URL, use it [1]. Also, it saves one request. > Now that SSL is encouraged for everyone and doesn’t have performance concerns, > this technique is now an anti-pattern. If the asset you need is available on > SSL, then always use the https:// asset. [1] https://www.paulirish.com/2010/the-protocol-relative-url/
In my original post, I forgot to add the example URL [1]. [1] https://mail.gnome.org/archives/commits-list/2017-February/msg05035.html
