Encrypted location requests #18

Closed amilopowers closed 8 years ago

amilopowers commented 8 years ago

Now that radiocells.org is encrypted and secure location requests work in Firefox I would love to see encrypted requests in the backend. Could you add a checkbox in the settings to enable/disable secure requests? You might could enable it by default.

Arguably it should default to excluding plaintext methods, and the checkbox should default to off and say something like "Allow unsafe unencrypted location lookups". The real question is prohibiting plaintext, not "allowing encrypted". I know that's not what you said, but I think regular users are going to have a hard time understanding that subtelty.

Replaced all http requests with https requests with v0.2.2, so I guess we can close this ;-)
