--- Comment #7 from Thomas Fischer <fisc...@unix-ag.uni-kl.de> --- IHMO it fits quite nicely close to where settings for proxies are made, i.e. in KProtocolManager. There is already a proxyForUrl function to determine a proxy for an URL. Why not add "secureProtocolRewrite" function that, given a QUrl, returns a rewritten QUrl. For unknown/unsupported URLs, it just passes them back. The documentation would read: "Tries to rewrite a given QUrl to use a more secure protocol. Currently, only rules of 'HTTPS Everywhere', provided by the Electronic Frontier Foundation, will be used to rewrite known HTTP URLs to equivalent HTTPS URLs." As for performance, maybe a helper script can be used to pull the lastest EFF rules from GitHub and write out a C++ class containing the data hard-coded and an efficient read-only data structure for fast lookups. Both the script and the generated C++ would reside in KDE's repository, requiring to run the script only once EFF updates the rules or we redesign the hard-coded data structure. EFF's rules contain even test URLs that would allow to write automated test classes as well. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
