Revise 'secure servers' on FAQ #167

Open jidanni opened 7 years ago

On http://web.archive.org/ we see

Save Page Now
https://  SAVE PAGE
Capture a web page as it appears now for use as a trusted citation in the future.

However https://archive.org/about/faqs.php#23 says

Do you collect all the sites on the Web?

No, the Archive collects web pages that are publicly available. We do
not archive pages that require a password to access, pages that are only
accessible when a person types into and sends a form, or pages on secure
servers. Pages may not be archived due to robots exclusions and some
sites are excluded by direct site owner request.

So please revise or pages on secure servers above, as HTTPS implies secure.
