Could we all just stop the bullshit? Did anyone replying here actually
tried if using https worked? I'll admit I didn't but I just get fed up
with the BS.

I'm not sure actually. A self signed would it prompt or just auto accept.

Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] Https for fastdl
This shouldn't be too hard to test. Self sign a cert, fire up apache with
mod_ssl, modify the server.cfg to point to https, and tail to httpd log to
see if a connection attempt is made by the game server. Even if it dies due
to a cert error, you'll be able to see if the client supports that type of
connection.

The idea about HTTPS is that there is a growing push to monitor and harm
traffic on the internet. A fix for this is https, and as stated before:
an extreme explanation might be: it could help against tampering ...
if you have an ISP that do not wants you to play they could just
corrupt
each and every fast download tries... with https istead that could be
very hard (in both detecting the typo of file being downloaded and
breaking into an ssl stream corrupting it)
Nowadays, expecially in countries where "privacy" is just a word on a
dictionary, everything should be run within encrypted tunnels
This is something that modern day china, and other countries are pushing
towards. Im not trying to be illegal, but rather make it so that its harder
to track users downloading files off my fastdl.
We should all be pushing to increase https usage in this modern day world
to not only protect our users, but also to hide the traffics full intent to
outside eyes.
The main reason for my blow up below is the fact that I'm so tired of
responses that simply do not help the thread progress. Its common on here,
and it is bloody annoying. In any case I understand your point about the
extra cost and lowering of speed by switching to https, but I simply want
to know if it would be possible at all to do.

I'm not trying to criticize your thread or your means to use the Fast
download functionality.
I'm simple stating that you would get a better result for less cost.
I'm sorry if it was mis intended in that way.

This is why I hate this thread, there is never any good answers just
criticism. The question is fully legitimate as since your an idiot and
don't understand that testing is sorta hard considering you have to buy a
50+ license.
As I stated to the other guy, if you have nothing productive to say don't
bloody fucking say it.
God how hard is that, to keep your mouth shut.

Maybe by your opinion. Now if you have nothing "productive" to state on
whether it works or not then stop replying as I already understand the
below and that it has a cost.
So much time and posts have past... During that period try and error
would have been much faster
