Hi, Is it possible to redirect any web logins to setiathome.berkeley.edu to https? Otherwise credentials could possibly be snooped. Cheers, ID: 1726969 ·  |

They're already there. I see your thread, for instance, as https://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=78199 ID: 1726978 · |

For whatever reason, neither account logins nor this forum are redirected to HTTPS for me. Fedora and Gentoo Linux, Firefox, Chrome, Chromium, mobile Firefox, and so forth. ID: 1727663 · |

For whatever reason, neither account logins nor this forum are redirected to HTTPS for me. I am logged in, and have full access to my Account pages and preferences, but the url for this thread and message shows as http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=78199#1727663 in both IE-8/Vista, IE-11/W7, and Safari on my iBook G4.

That does seem to work. I just updated my account page to https and all the links from it stay https. Thanx Gary Bob Sometimes I wonder, what happened to all the people I gave directions to? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ SETI@home classic workunits 4,321 SETI@home classic CPU time 22,169 hours ID: 1727751 · |

I come here by clicking a button in Boinc Manager (7.6.9). That doesn't result in an https connection. The Universe is not only stranger than you imagine, it's stranger than you can imagine. SETI@home classic workunits 1,405 CPU time 57,318 hours

For whatever reason, neither account logins nor this forum are redirected to HTTPS for me. It probably depends on your browser. Chrome for Windows certainly makes it clear that it is rejecting HTTPS:  According to the developers, it's a problem with the CSS (cascading style sheets) used for laying out the pages: browsers don't like it if you use HTTP for some elements and HTTPS for others. We would have to spend a lot of somebody's time re-checking the source code for every page on this website before making the switch. ID: 1727864 · |

For whatever reason, neither account logins nor this forum are redirected to HTTPS for me. Odd. I would have thought they would use relative instead of fixed full paths in the css. Maybe I just do that in mine because it is less work. There might be extra overhead somewhere when not using full paths. Edit: Also my version of Chrome seems to be somewhat OK with it. http://i.imgur.com/EHX5Zvk.png Note I don't normally use Chrome. I just have it installed to check things.
