I agree that the HTTP/TLS discussion should be moved to the uta (Using TLS in 
Applications) mailing list, when one exists, with regard to authentication. It 
protects far more against active attacks and this list is about preventing 
passive mass monitoring being useful.

I think that the discussion relating to the use of TLS for encryption, its 
effect on proxies and CDNs, and the fact that CDNs are a privacy issue still 
need discussion here and are relevant to this list.

The main question: are there times when we would ever want HTTP traffic to not 
be encrypted?
The secondary question is: how does the trust model for CDNs be improved? I 
don't believe that third-party CDNs that do caching and have access to private 
information are a good idea. Maybe we can come up with some best practices like 
only proxy static content but directly contact for dynamic content that could 
contain private information and declaring in the cert that you're contacting a 
CDN instead of the actual site? But then there are no guarantees that people 
are following them.

Iain.
