Quoting Carsten Bormann (cabo(_at_)tzi(_dot_)org):
If you want encryption, definitely you should be able to get it, and indeed
with ietf.org, you can.
No, I want privacy, and all my right-thinking crew-cut friends are using
http://ietf.org, so I still stand out for STASI when I’m using
https://ietf.org.
The whole debate is not so much about whether privacy is really needed for
accessing the IETF site (not really that much) but about whether we want to
lead by example. I think we want to expose the browsable parts of the site
such as the front page by https only, but keep tools access for constructible
URIs such as http://tools.ietf.org/id/{draft-name}. And rsync of course.
FTP is legacy anyways.
