Be careful, on CodeWalrus (and probably Cemetech) there used to be a radical extremist anti-HTTPS user :P

NOOOO!!!
Now i can't view ticalc.org on the built-in browser on my nokia 9500! That kinda sucks.
Why does one encrypt sites anyway? Just asking. If it's for security reasons, then i guess i should be okay with it...

The main reason for encrypting sites to protect them better against hackers. Also, the S in HTTPS stands for Secure. Just a little bit of extra information for you.

Encryption protects you by:

* preventing others from eavesdropping on your communications with the site and stealing your personal information

* providing verification that you are in fact communicating with the intended site and not some attacker masquerading as the site

* preventing data between you and the server from being covertly modified by third parties (or even your ISP) in transit

I know obsolescence is a pain, but this is getting more and more important as reliance on the Web grows and yet the amount of abuse and surveillance continues to increase. The adoption of HTTPS, even HTTPS-only, sites will only continue to become more widespread with time.

Just wondering: My phone's built-in browser won't support https, but it supports proxy connections (as far as i know), so maybe i can make the proxy do the 's' part and read the web pages as http on my device?

Yes, but you lose all advantages of HTTPS outlined, which are actually rather important with the increasing importance of the web.

Well, this doesn't really do much for me, as i just want to be able to view ticalc on my phone without using opera mini (has no tabs, really, the only thing that sucks on this browser). Anyway, who would even want to spy on a symbian s80 device? Litteraly, no one has even ever made a virus for it! Could you please link me to aa tutorial or something, that explains how to do it? Help much appreciated.

Good to see ticalc.org switching to HTTPS by default :)
Before you started adding little-advertised HTTPS support several months ago, ticalc.org was one of the last HTTP-only sites I use on a regular basis.
Most of the time, HTTPS Everywhere's HTTPS-only mode is no longer an annoyance for my Internet usage, which is great.
