The "Mythical Man-Month" is now the "Mythical Token-Minute"?

chuckhoupton Fixed-Point HTML

Thanks [I'm the author]. I tested with Chrome 105 on macOS and it succeeded. Possibly there are OS/plugin/etc issues?

Of course, I know there is no guarantee that every browsers innerHTML implementation will produce exactly the same result, but so far I haven't found any variation (Chrome, FF, Safari, Edge).

chuckhoupton HTTP/3 Is Fast

I think this was a bug in the site, which appears to now been fixed.

chuckhoupton Cool URIs don't change (1998)

Note that HTTP is also upgraded if the UA requests it with the Upgrade-Insecure-Requests header:

  $ curl -I -H 'Upgrade-Insecure-Requests: 1' 'http://www.w3.org/Provider/Style/URI.html'
  HTTP/1.1 307 Temporary Redirect
  location: https://www.w3.org/Provider/Style/URI.html
  vary: Upgrade-Insecure-Requests

chuckhoupton Still Why No HTTPS?

Opps! You're right, the W3C only helped author it.

I was also wrong to say that w3.org never redirects to HTTPS. If the browsers sends a Upgrade-Insecure-Requests HTTP-header, then it redirects. That allows it to support all browsers as securely as possible.

Sites like whynohttps.com and observatory.mozilla.org should really test for this pattern.

chuckhoupton Still Why No HTTPS?

w3.org redirect to www.w3.org, but not HTTPS. This makes sense for the standards org that defines HTTP, and needs to maintain backwards compatibility.
