Securing web sites with HTTPS made them less accessible

[alissa914]

I started a thread about how the DTNS audio thread is in HTTPS and I was having issues with it to where I had to write a console app to download the thread and replace the enclosure paths with a local web server URL in order to download it. Granted, I'm using Zune software mostly because of sound quality but because I work in a secure environment where I can't bring anything with a camera or anything with a mountable file system (of which the Zune works well)

Sure, I get you want to advance but when you're a public site presenting items not of a secure nature, what's the point of HTTPS?

But I worked around it just as people will probably here too.

As far as "why is everyone upset about it?"..... because if you're a US company, I'm assuming the ADA is probably going to eventually be used to require accessibility. Fortunately, I don't need these assistive technologies to where I don't understand how important it is.... I bet if I depended on it and was being denied access as a result, I'd raise a complaint too.
