[Webcom] SSL/TLS misconfigured on osgeo.org?

[Christian Willmes]

Fair point I would not object to delivering the map tiles via SSL. And 
thanks for the notification.

But talking of this, can you or someone here explain, why someone want 
trivial non-privacy or security relevant information like a maptiles 
showing open data to be SSL encrypted?

 From my point of view it looks like a waste of CPU cycles. I did not 
understand the pro SSL everything campaign by google and others in the 
first place.

Thanks for help,
Christian
