I've never seen the movement to HTTPS-only to be bad, but as this always envolves a certificate and therefore registration, I now think that there might be disadvantages connected with forced HTTPS. To some extent, this even resembles the russian blogger law. To run a website, one must have a certificate. To have a certificate, one must register himself. As I still want more websites (including this one) to switch to HTTPS I realize that enforced encryption can be seen as bad. I hope the IETF figures out a far more better CA system, which doesn't need registration, and allows people to set up an apache in their local network.
