Need to cache URLs during a session and not redetect on every page load #10

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago

Currently every page that's loaded as HTTP is tested for HTTPS.  It would be 
good to cache these results and not send needless server requests for HTTPS, 
But....

Certain sites use HTTPS only for a login page (and not the rest of the site).  
If we cache a negative result for HTTPS on the homepage, then redirect to a 
login page (that isn't explicitly forced to HTTPS) and don't detect again, then 
we may miss the HTTPS version of the page because the result was already 
cached.  

I will look into this in the future.  It could be a good feature to have but 
we'll need to make sure we don't degrade the detection abilities because of it.

There may be sites that, while available over HTTPS, I do not wish to redirect 
to HTTPS. (I'm encountering this with a site I'm developing and the constant 
request to redirect to HTTPS is becoming annoying)

Would it make sense to have an option to ignore certain sites?

Check out version 0.34. It has domain whitelisting :)

It was submitted to Mozilla on Friday and should be reviewed by the end of this 
week.  The source is also available:

Fix in progress in 0.57. Cert errors or non "OK" https responses result in the 
host being added to the session whitelist.
