Availability of SSL (https)

I've posted in an existing thread (http://www.sencha.com/forum/showthre...cha.IO-and-SSL) but later realised it probably wasn't the right section. So here is my question:

Does src.sencha.io support SSL (https)? If not (which I think is the case at the moment), is it a planned feature and under which conditions?

Sorry if this has been asked before, I was unable to find any information on this topic. Or to be more precise I found an advice to use https://tinysrc.appspot.com, but this now redirect to sencha (without SSL).

Hello,

There's no plan to implement https for src.

What's your use case?

Hello John,

Thanks for the quick reply. My use case is, I believe, pretty common: my website is partially served over SSL. The main reason to do so is the increased user privacy, which is especially important for mobile-aimed website. More on this topic: Coding Horror: Should All Web Traffic Be Encrypted?

The issue with src is that, since https is not supported, including it within a https-enabled website will result in a mixed connections warning (your connection to this site is only partially encrypted pop-up, etc depending on browser).

From a technical point of view this is not an issue: who cares if images are viewed by a third party, if it was holding sensitive information it shouldn't pass through src in the first place.

However from a end-user point of view this is a huge problem: such warnings look shady and unprofessional. Worse: most browsers supply no information on what causes it, leaving the average user unable to judge whether it is a security risk or not.

But for sure Sencha will add SSL for Sencha.io Login and Data, so why not add SSL for src if Sencha customers would pay for it?

This is a compelling use case. We'll consider it in our product planning.

The Sencha.io Src service is currently a free service (for reasonable usage).

Thanks for the attention, always a pleasure to see developers caring about their products =D> .
