General site updates, TODO list and discussion

Pretty much yeah. The only error it should throw is about WalrusIRC and you probably won't see it right away.

Ah ok. Hopefully it won't happen. Is there a way to fix it? Also I wonder if our Youtube plugins work under HTTPS...

WIRC should work fine on https if we move it to a subdirectory like Omnom.

I wonder if WIRC actually works if it's a sub-directory? IIRC Omnom had issues with such setup. Maybe @Juju knows.

Yuki · April 03, 2015, 02:50:00 AM

Well, the only way to know is to try.

Yuki · April 03, 2015, 08:37:21 PM

Aaaaand it works. Quite fine.

https://codewalr.us/walrusirc/ (which is the same thing as https://walrusirc.codewalr.us/ via some weird hacks)

Nice! Will the main site be https too sometime?

Yuki · April 03, 2015, 09:02:20 PM

It is already! Should we enforce https, though?

Also it still have some errors because not everything is loaded as https.

Edit: Also please note that https is faster in supported browsers due to SPDY

Snektron · April 03, 2015, 09:29:33 PM

Ohh nice

i will be using that

What is SPDY btw?

Yuki · April 03, 2015, 09:35:22 PM

It's pretty much HTTP version 2, something like that.

EDIT: SPDY is actually a precursor to HTTP/2 and will go deprecated when it comes out.

I don't really get the interest by compressing the header, I mean, the page is most of the times hundred times heavier than the request.

I don't think it should be enforced unless there is enough demand. We should consult the users first I think. Besides, it could cause our site mods to stop working (eg Youtube). Plus enforcing it before we get a valid certificate (with zero warning anywhere) would scare some users. Cemetech and TI-Planet still use http by default and they still are fine.

Funny you say that, i've jsut noticed a bug where youtube videos don't show, though i'm not using https...
No errors in the console either :/

Yuki · April 04, 2015, 09:39:27 PM

Do you get similar warnings on Omnimaga?

Snektron · April 04, 2015, 10:31:32 PM

Noh, i'm not very often on Omnimaga :/
