Title: Bug: Download page not secure
Post by: rfugger on June 02, 2013, 04:56:24 PM
It would be far preferable if the page at

was secured by https so I could trust that the information given there, particularly MD5 checksums, has not been tampered with on its way to my browser.  Thanks!

Thomas is aware of the issue and has already confirmed SSL will be added to the site in the (near) future.

@rfugger:

If you're worried about the MD5 and therefore the application being tampered with, an SSL tunnel from a hacked server is not going to get you very far.  Use PGP.
