Move to HTTPS

foo wrote 8 years ago: 1

Is it possible for TVmaze to implement HTTPS?

I'm aware nothing secret is going on here, but Google is starting to rank HTTPS only sites higher on their result listings.

Normally, it would be an obvious answer: "the cost isn't worth it", but now that we have a free, automated, and open CA (Let's Encrypt), why could this not be implemented?

Love the site!

Thanks!

Dammit. I even searched for a post(looks like I did but in wrong section) on this too. Sorry about that. Thanks.

No worries. We are aware the search needs improvement. :)

Yep, as noted in the other thread HTTPS support is planned for the future.

(FYI: We're aware of letsencrypt, but adding support for HTTPS on our scale is a little more complicated than just slapping a certificate on. We'll have to integrate automatic renews in our infrastructure; properly set up canonical URL's; deal with HTTP-only assets for example in articles; make sure all our advertisement networks are compliant; etc etc.)

Oh I'm sure you know about it =). I was just wondering.

It does seem like many get hung on the transition due to ad networks not being fully HTTPS compliant. Damn them! ;)

Keep up the great work!
