     You are correct, from a server side someone would have to make
 services
     available on https.

     From a client side, it is possibly vulnerable in the same way non
     service packages are in OSGeo4w.

     The example in IRC today, which I have not verified. QGIS connects to
 a
     WMS via https, that https service probes the local QGIS instance for
     memory dumps.


     I say we just post the how to fix it if you're concerned instructions
     and leave it at that. Obviously it will be fixed in the next version
     without additional work on our part. We could also reiterate that we
 do
     not intend of OSGeo Live to be used in Production Servers as is.


     Thanks,
     Alex
