I usually use Thunderbird to read and write messages. Crashing of
Thunderbird while loading a too heavy image made me go and log in to the
site directly as I wanted to reply. The warning I got was that the
connection to news.povray.org was not secure, which made me hesitate to
go on.
I wonder if this should not be corrected in view of the state of the
(internet) world nowadays. Lack of the basic site protections feels
wrong (and threatening) and particularly outdated.
What do you think?

I think you need to show some RFID-embedded biometric-enhanced ID, pal.
This doesn't sound like the Devil-may-care, swashbuckling TdG, _I_ know...
Somebody log this joker's IP and check on the REAL TdG.
:-P
Do we really need HTTPS?

Nah. That would blow up the site.

That's what I mean: that swashbuckling one is phony to the core! Trust

More than ever imo. Or better, as HTTPS is also being taken over
gradually by the dark side.

Thanks for pointing this out. Indeed we don't have SSL enabled for the
news server as our current three-name cert is maxed out. I've set in
motion an application for a wildcard cert and when I get that I'll add
news to the SSL configuration.

Using Thunderbird, that'd be NNTP over SSL, rather than HTTPS.
Since the server doesn't require authentication, using SSL with NNTP
doesn't really make a huge difference.

Great news, thanks.
But I just tried the link using Firefox (Sept 10, 2:13pm EST in the US) and it
doesn't load ("the connection has timed out.") I tried it twice.

Thanks for pointing this out; this will teach me to test connections
from outside my office as well as here ;). I hadn't enabled port 443 for
that IP via the firewall, so it was blocked to anyone but me (my IP is
whitelisted).
Working now, I hope!

I just noticed that the newsgroup log-in page-- using the web interface (and
Firefox)-- is still not secure (no https there, as far as I can see, and the
little 'lock' logo has a line through it). Should it be secured as well?

Technically it was, but you needed to manually visit the HTTPS site
(i.e. https://www.povray.org/). I just tweaked the site config so that
anyone landing on http://www.povray.org/community gets redirected to the
secure version. Hopefully this won't have any unintended side-effects as
there's several other server rules that apply to that path. If you see
anything misbehaving please let me know.

Sorry
The connection has timed out
The server at www.povray.org is taking too long to respond.

That's strange; everything is working OK for me. I tested both the original
unsecured
http://news.povray.org/groups/
page, and the new secured one. (That's generally how I get to the newsgroups.)
In both cases, when I fire-up a fresh Firefox, go to the 'groups' page, then go
to this particular message thread and log-in to leave a message (this one, in
fact!), the log-in page is now secure, and with no time-out. I also tried going
*directly* to an old POV-Ray message thread that I bookmarked-- thus by-passing
any other newsgroup related web pages-- and the new scheme still works.
[I have Firefox set to erase passwords and such when I exit it , if that has
anything to do with the problem. I don't keep the program active all the time.]
Or maybe it's a web-portal vs. newsreader problem?
