I realize that LiveCode has no influence over Apple, but this is one
of the most bone-headed thing Apple has ever done to it's developers.
There are millions of web servers out there without any logins,
serving publicly available data or information, that do not need to
be encrypted...
HTTPS serves two purposes: one is encryption of data in transport, which
may or may not be truly necessary. When when a server only hosts
publicly-available information it may indeed seem overkill.
But the other purpose is very useful for us all: it helps ensure that
the site you think you're accessing is indeed what it claims to be.
As I mentioned previously, it serves a third purpose, even if the data
is publicly available and you're communicating with the right server, by
preventing middlemen from tampering with the data in transit.
