This has started happening a while ago (previously there was not perceptible delay) and luckily I don’t have to visit HTTP sites very often but it is annoying and I would like to get rid of it.
I know HTTP is bad TYVM. I only use this HTTPS-only mode to forcibly upgrade to HTTPS whenever possible and be notified if it doesn’t work.
Does anyone know why this is happening and how to disable it?
#Firefox @firefox@lemmy.world
Can’t you use a self signed cert?
I’d like to point out this very valid reason not to:
Could, but then Firefox (or more like Librewolf in my case) will complain of a self signed cert.
Plus it’s silly. Imagine having every door in your home locked away, and in order to enter a room you have to get a keychain out of your pocket…!
So you’re right. For localhost, SSL is absolutely unnecessary.
But at the same time I totally get doing it for testing purposes, so a message saying that it’s a self cert/unencrypted is still welcome.
… Just not 5 seconds of waiting
