Wed Sep 17 15:56:57 2014: Request 14530 was acted upon. Transaction: Ticket created by [email protected] Queue: General Subject: HTTPS caching proxy for weather information Owner: Nobody Requestors: [email protected] Status: new Ticket <URL: https://rt.gnome.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=14530 > --- Original message follows: -------------------------------------------------------------- Hello sysadmins! gnome-weather currently leaks user information to weather providers (noaa and yr.no), and it does that over http; details are available in https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=734048. In that bug report it was decided to disable the weather search provider by default, so the leak would only happen when actively using gnome-weather. To go further I have now created another bug report, following a suggestion the initial report: > So I think this bug can either be closed or kept open to track the > effort of trying to contact NOAA and yr.no asking for TLS or > implementing a GNOME hosted TLS proxy. That's https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=736814. So here I am, asking sysadmins how feasible it would be to have an https caching proxy to noaa and yr.no. I'll update the bug report with the RT ticket number once I get it.
