[Xerte-dev] Re: Future Chrome release and how it will treat non SSL sites

[Ron Mitchell]

XOT already works if the server and installation is set to use https whether that be paid for certs or letsencrypt. But to date it's been up to whoever looks after the installation and there are disadvantages with using https too e.g embedding external non https content. My reason for mentioning this is that we probably need to put together some advice and guidance while it's still optional rather than essential, including how people switch their installations without breaking existing links and embeds etc.
Cheers
Ron
