>>101260 From what I remember some reasons are: Back when Ants created the code for this Https wasn't really a thing. He never found the opportunity to bother fiddling around with all the handcrafted code enough to change that. You wouldn't really need it. There are no real passwords or sensible information exchanged. This is basically a flash porn database, if you visit this, you shouldn't be doing it at work anyway and you shouldn't be embarrassed by your ISP knowing that you searched for [FURRY]gay_bisexual_underage_inflation_yiffing.swf as well.
>>101260 I've just not put time towards setting it up, I want to write my own ACME client for certificate upkeep and then I need to go through old code swapping out hardcoded http stuff. I'm also not sure if using Let's Encrypt is a good idea since they are the biggest cert authority (consolidating power, shrinking Internet) but haven't found other reliable free alternatives. The plan was to put swfchan onto https after I got the new server but I've been prioritizing other projects.
