Thanks for the security warning and let me explain why is the lack of support for https protocol irrelevant in this specific situation.
The site http://portal.aurelia-community.space is a collection for of a few iframes, where each iframe uses the https protocol to fetch its content. At the moment, there are two applications that are accessed this way:
- blog - as https://blog.aurelia-community.space
-
guides - as a collection of Gitbook hosted books:
- Aurelia CLI Guide as https://aucs-publishers.gitbooks.io/aurelia-cli-guide/content/
- Full-Stack Application Development Guide as https://aucs-publishers.gitbooks.io/full-stack-application-development-guide/content/
- Identity Management Guide as https://aucs-publishers.gitbooks.io/identity-management-guide/content/
- Tips and tricks as https://aucs-publishers.gitbooks.io/tips-and-tricks/content/
In other words the application running at Github as http://portal.aurelia-community.com is simply a convenience for Aurelia community, keeping the references to all actual secure applications In one place.
Let me also comment on the recently created feature Securing your GitHub Pages site with HTTPS. AUCS portal cannot use this feature, as its URL would have to be of the form https://aurelia-community.github.io/; using this, we would sacrifice the nice custom domain (portal.aurelia-community.com) for a not needed security.
There is even third reason for not being able to use the url: https://blog.aurelia-community.space - contact me directly if you care to know that, please.
