EFF's https-everywhere add-on for firefox (and other browsers) redirects http to https connection, for those websites supporting https protocol (https://www.eff.org/Https-everywhere)
The add-on is no longer available for download from addons.mozilla.org, for reasons explained by EFF as: "We felt that the Mozilla privacy policy that applies to downloads from addons.mozilla.org is somewhat less protective than the privacy policies of the organizations that develop HTTPS Everywhere, and we prefer for HTTPS Everywhere users to be protected by our privacy policy. This decision could change in the future as Mozilla's privacy practices evolve or as we re-examine the details of the current Mozilla policy." So the download for firefox extension is here (instead of mozilla.org): https://www.eff.org/files/https-everywhere-latest.xpi And might the Makefile look like this? --------------------------------- PORTNAME= https-everywhere DISTVERSION= 4.0.1 DISTVERSIONSUFFIX= (???)
