YAY! More HTTPS!

I'm so happy to see the HTTPS progress. Thank you all!

I'm currently one of the people working on the EFF's browser extension HTTPS Everywhere. I see [personal profile] fu added a rule to the extension in 2015 (here's the current rule in the Atlas of rewrite rules). Any changes we ought to make to that rule?

The image proxy-related change reminds me: CloudFlare and Brave use our rules to do automatic rewriting of requests to upgrade from HTTP to HTTPS and keep users safer. (The first item on our architecture roadmap is actually "signed rulesets", a feature to allow EFF to sign rulesets and thus allow users and downstreams to easily download rulesets on their own, outside the extension's updating mechanisms.) Would Dreamwidth be interested in getting https_url to also draw from that set of rewrite rules?

Someday, HSTS! (In v2 or later, I infer.)

Thanks and yay again!
