These redirects over the HTTPS connections issue a HSTS header that instructs any supporting client to default to HTTPS from now on. On, we even made the decision to redirect API URLs from HTTP to HTTPS. Over time and as HTTPS became more prevalent, we’ve been pushing more and more traffic onto HTTPS as a best practice. Historically NuGet was only available over HTTP or unvalidated HTTPS connections. Every time you interact with NuGet, it should be over HTTPS so you can be sure the response you’re getting back is in fact being delivered by NuGet. In short, it prevents someone from getting between you and NuGet. HTTPS and SSL not only encrypt our data so it cannot be used if it is stolen, but it helps us to avoid MITM attacks.
#Https everywhere software
There are some very basic unittests under https-everywhere-tests/.As an ongoing effort to make HTTPS everywhere a reality for NuGet, we have taken a number of steps to help protect your everyday package management experiences.Įarlier this year, a security fact sheet from The White House reinforced companies to take action to secure our software supply chains. We have two publicly-archived mailing lists: the https-everywhere list ( ) is for discussing the project as a whole, and the https-everywhere-rulesets list ( ) is for discussing the rulesets and their contents, including patches and git pull requests. (Note that you won't see replies unless you put an email address in the CC field.) The one on ( ) has a large backlog of bugs at this point, but it has the advantage of allowing you to post bugs anonymously using the "cypherpunks" / "writecode" account. The one on Github ( ) is recommended because it gets checked more frequently and has a friendlier user interface. You can do that through the Tor Project's Transifex page: If you would like to help translate HTTPS Everywhere into your language, To make sure that your rule is free of common mistakes. For example, if you wanted to make a rule for the domain, you could run There is also a script called trivial-validate.py, to check all the pending rules for several common errors and oversights. That directory also contains a useful script, make-trivial-rule, to create a simple rule for a specified domain. If you want to create new rules to submit to us, we expect them to be in the src/chrome/content/rules directory.

You can read more about how to write these rules here: HTTPS Everywhere consists of a large number of rules for switching sites from HTTP to HTTPS. To submit changes, either use pull requests on GitHub or email patches (rulesets) (code). Off the current master branch about every two weeks. The current stable release series is 5.0.
