Ok, so let's say I have an internal company wiki that's editable using APP. The wiki is hosted on our internal network and everyone accessing the wiki is on the internal network too. Everything behind a firewall. Hell, maybe we aren't even connected to the internet at all. The wiki uses basic auth for identification. Why is it that we MUST use a secure connection.
