It remains the case that the list [archive / server](http://crosswire.org/mailman/listinfo/sword-devel) has an insecure connection that uses only HTTP.

We should upgrade it ASAP to use HTTPS to avoid all the Browser Warnings!

It's 2025 now. Nobody nowadays should still be using HTTP.

With all the kerfuffle/hilarity about my use of Leo, we seem to have lost sight of the main point!

We have a catchall, so you can say[https://bettyboop.crosswire.org](https://bettyboop.crosswire.org/)<https://bettyboop.crosswire.org/> if you want, but the certificate won't be value for that domain.
