 Well there's not a lot we can do about it - it works by loading a
 localhost URL in a hidden frame but that is active content so will be
 blocked by modern browsers if loading http from https.

 So unless JOSM were to accept https connections to the remote control
 there isn't much we can do.


JOSM now accepts https connections on port 8112 [1] in addition of standard
http requests on port 8111. Can you update OSM website accordingly? Thanks

obviously it depends against who you want to protect, against the NSA it is 
probably not possible to protect yourself, even more as our governments are 
collaborating with them...

Yes, there are attacks against SSL/TLS. That's no reason to believe
that it is useless at protecting your privacy. Using HTTPS sounds like
a perfect low-hanging fruit to protect against the casual dragnet
surveillance.

I had a similar discussion on the german blog and frankly I don't get
the everything is broken, let's just not bother and even badmouth it
attitude some people have. If you want a bad analogy: Clothes protect
your privacy even though there are microwave scanners, skirt-lifting
perverts and some too-thin cloths.

btw.: as far as I remember from earlier discussions regarding user privacy,
OSMF is logging the IP addresses of users accessing the site. How long is
this data stored? Which are the actions that trigger the logging (e.g. all,
user registration, map browsing, editing, ...)?

I notice that https://wiki pages contain some http: absolute URLs...
Embedded slippy maps are not showing either... Where's the place to log
these bugs (assuming it is not 'by design')?

If it is something simple easiest to report in #osm on

great news, thank you very much!

Btw, will forum.openstreetmap.org switch in future, too?

And another question: Could you consider to favor cacert certificates
over RapidSSL/GeoTrust?

Thanks,

Why would we want to do that? It would cause virtually all our users to 
get certificate warnings when visiting the site.

:) Imho the CA system is totaly broken. If you want any security you
need pinning. Anyways, I'd always prefer a web-of-trust over a company 
and that's the first reason what Cacert is good for. Second, I don't 
like that an open project (or any person for that matter) has to pay 
much money to participate in the www. Cacert is free, the others 
aren't.

 It would cause virtually all our users to 
 get certificate warnings when visiting the site.

However, you might have a point with this one :/ I forgot about the
other operating systems out there and I suppose MS doesn't include
cacert's root certificate :(

Anyways, sorry for the noise. But I'd still prefer cacert over any 
big expensive authority ;)

Peda

Other operating systems doesn't really come into it - as far as I know 
there is no major browser that includes the cacert root certificate.


Look I use cacert and I do have it installed, but the reality is that 
most people won't.

At least chrom{e,ium} and konqueror use the system certificates. This
works for me, but you're right, I had to import for firefox.

Just for reference: http://wiki.cacert.org/InclusionStatus

 Look I use cacert and I do have it installed, but the reality is that 
 most people won't.

I'm afraid you're right. Stays the hope that some enthusiasts read these
mails and use and promote cacert from now on .. and once inclusion get's
better I'll be back!! ;)

Well I didn't realise that any significant OS distros included it in 
their root set either, but I see from your link that Debian does.
