An occasional old machine, XP sp2 or so, might have issues, but it's not stopping the upgrade to TLS everywhere. That should be happening soonish.

Its a shame that thhats not the case.
Its why I got https everywhere.
Everyone should connect to that if they can its good for privacy but also security.
Most upgraded units have https.
eff.org has cert bot which is supposed to make that easy so there is no excuse to just make it happen.

There are some windows programs which do not like https by the way,
totally unrelated to this I know but worth mentioning. Juice podcast
downloader has issues with https  podcast sites like audioboom, but not
normal ones like bbc etc.

trying to access add-ons website over HTTPS


addons.nvda-project.org doesn't support SSL at all. When you access it
via
https, the server is falling back to nvaccess.org, so the certificate
will
show as invalid. I'm doing some server upgrades in the next few weeks and
will hopefully move everything to https in the process. Thanks for the
reminder that I need to include the addons site in this work.

Btw, while this used to be hosted on Mesar's server, it's all hosted
by NV
Access now, so I configured the server and manage everything server
related.

Hi,



When I try to go to add-ons website via HTTPS (URL:
https://addons.nvda-project.org), I get certificate error and unsecure
connection errors in IE and FF, respectively. This might be due to
domains,
or something Mesar did when he configured the current add-ons website. I
recommend that we try to use HTTPS, both for the website as well as when
accessing a future add-ons database via add-on update client. Thanks.

Cheers,

Joseph
