Auth security tweak
I’m working on improving some of the https-related security in Authl, in particular making it so that if a site is configured with https, then it’ll only send the security cookie over https. This reduces the chances of a certain kind of possible security issue, but it also means that if you normally access the site with http://beesbuzz.biz
instead of https://beesbuzz.biz
it’ll show you as being signed out, and if you click the “log in” link it’ll ask you to sign in again even if you were already signed in.
I have a fix for that in mind, but it might cause a potential redirection loop problem in some cases so I’m not going to implement it until I’ve determined the scope of the problem and figured out if I need further workarounds.
Update: Fix is implemented and being tested on this site. Authl and Publ updates pending other folks trying it out.
