Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] BBC possible move to HTTPS for content delivery ?

[pippin]

But the move to https is to be expected since that's where the whole web
is moving acknowledging that there are few thins not security and
privacy relevant out there.
It's, for example, one additional step to make it harder for 3rd parties
to spoof "trusted" web sites.

Google chrome will start to show a warning every time you open a
non-https web site some time next year, Apple will force Apps to use TLS
communication with servers from end of this year (and force backend
providers to offer TLS interfaces on the way), it's a general trend, not
just the BBC

I don't think so but with the BBC they do things as they see fit and not
for the benefit of users (i.e. apple HLS streams, users of their apps
and their Web browser are the only users BBC cares about). There are
lots of owners of now "dead" smart BBCiPlayer capable TVs and internet
radios and worried vendors of internet radio who are trying to get HLS
and DASH working who dislike the BBC way of moving forward with a new
standard every few years.
