Cloudflare’s HTTPS Only Move: Say Goodbye to HTTP and Hello to Secure Connections!
Cloudflare’s API just got a security upgrade, and it’s a knockout punch to HTTP connections. Starting now, only HTTPS connections are allowed. No more 403 Forbidden responses—just a flat-out rejection of unencrypted traffic. If your scripts are sweating, it’s time to switch to HTTPS before they break a virtual sweat!
Hot Take:
Cloudflare has finally declared a breakup with HTTP, and it’s about time! HTTP connections, you’ve been ghosted. From now on, only your secure sibling HTTPS will be allowed to attend the Cloudflare API party. Might as well change your relationship status to ‘securely complicated’ because there’s no more room for plaintext love here.
Key Points:
- Cloudflare is closing all HTTP connections to its API, allowing only HTTPS connections.
- This move prevents potential exposure of sensitive information through unencrypted channels.
- HTTP connections will not even be established, eliminating the risk of data leakage.
- The change will disrupt systems, scripts, and tools that rely on HTTP connections.
- A small but significant percentage of internet traffic still travels over HTTP, posing security risks.
