Re: [eclipse-dev] Secure connection for bugs??

Hi Dejan

I implemented a ssl cert on bugs.eclipse.org
because it is good security practice to encrypt authentication sessions.
 With ssl enabled, users who login to the eclipse.org Bugzilla have
their username and password transmitted in encrypted format, rather than
cleartext.  In addition, several eclipse.org community members requested
the change.

When I follow a link I get as part of Bugzilla notification,
the link
morphs into a secure one on the fly (http:// -> https://), resulting
in
browser warnings that I am about to enter a secure page.

What is secure about bugs against Open Source software :-)??
