by bigon, 6 years agoBe aware that this module contacts an external non-https server to do the validation, this is a big no-no for me as this will lead to information being leaked.

posted 6 years agoThere is a 301 redirect to https. You can change it in a "preferences" page of this addon. The default parameter will be changed at the next release :)

- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 14134753, 6 years agoSometimes it works, sometimes it does not for the same URL. Not stable at all. Plugin seems to work ok for getting the results, it is the site that sends the results that has the problems and needs to be updated.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Dewnan, 6 years agoTo Aelisya and bigon, if you have Extension source viewer you can see (Firefox user 13857193)s code. This isn't spyware and does connects to securely... https://httpspluschecker.virtit.fr
CODE:
if (url.protocol === "http:" || url.protocol === "https:") {
console.log("onGot : " + API)
var host = url.hostname;
xhr.open('GET', API + host, false);
xhr.send();
The addon does what it says and is safe! Developer response

- Rated 5 out of 5by Bob Smith, 7 years agoI've been looking for a replacement for CZ.NIX Labs' DNSSEC/TLSA Validator, which I still use in Cyberfox.
For Firefox Quantum, I found Popineau's DNSSEC unsatisfactory at least until the promised DNS over HTTPS (DoH) service is fulfilled at which point I'll re-evaluate. But it's been three months since their last update...
So, upon an icon click, HTTPS+ Checker queries a server (port 443) in France and presents a color coded result to the four fields.
As such, and given its experimental nature, the ability, validity and security of this extension must rest upon the user's confidence in AMZG_Beu's expertise, methodology and strategy. And, of course, that of Mozilla's vetting.
At this point I can't find reason to doubt that confidence and give five stars for effort, implementation and apparent efficacy.
I look forward to continued development and success. Good luck and thank you.
