[Hamara-devel] movement towards having https dominant - both mozilla and chromium

[shirish]

Hi all,
I do not know how many of our servers are using https or GNU TLS but 
seems there is movement on that both on mozilla and chromium. See :-

https://www.chromium.org/Home/chromium-security/marking-http-as-non-secure

You will lot of discussions on all of the above in the following 2 groups :-

https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/forum/#!forum/blink-dev

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/mozilla.dev.platform/

I had gone to a mozilla-rust meetup and it was one of the hot topics 
that was discussed by some community members among other things. I will 
share other topics in other emails

This does mean that if there are any software solutions which increase 
adaptability of https needs to be included in the distro.
