HTTPS (HTTP over SSL/TLS) for the PureBasic page and forums

Post by mback2k »

Hey PureBasic Team,

it would be great if the PureBasic website and forums were HTTPS-enabled, since usernames and passwords for each of those sites are currently send over the network in clear text.

For example, you can get free certificates from the following certification authorities:
- StartSSL - supported by most browsers and free for Class 1
- CAcert - not-supported by most browsers, but completely open and free

Thanks in advance and a happy new year!

Since CloudFare just announced Universal SSL, it might also be an option to put a self-signed SSL certificate on the PureBasic-webserver and use CloudFare FullSSL to get a trusted certificate and globally load balanced performance at the same time.
