Question, when did Bungie.net go https? Has this always been there or is it related to the salvo of updates coming to the site?

It automatically goes to https when you access the beta sign up page. Unless the whole site is https now?

Every page I click has it.

Indeed. I haven't had XBL for a long time, but I still come on her everyday.

Once you're on the "https" version of a page (probably the beta sign up page as antony pointed out), every link from thereon will be "https" until you alter the URL yourself.

This.

I've never understood what the difference is though. I know https is secure browsing, but what does that mean in terms of what can/can't be done?

HTTPS is a protocol which creates a kind of tunnel between your computer and the server.

When your browser is using HTTP, all of the data (everything you see on the page plus some more behind the scenes) being sent and received is done in plain text. So if the server sends a message to your browser saying "Hello", it actually gets transmitted as "Hello". This is the reason HTTP is insecure as a network protocol.

When your browser uses HTTPS, that "Hello" message gets encrypted into cipher text, which is unreadable garbage/gibberish, which is then transmitted along the network path (within a packet, frame, or as bits) to the server where it is decrypted back to "Hello".

Due to HTTPS providing this kind of connection, it's useful in situations where personal details, banking information, login information, etc... needs to be transmitted to a remote location across an insecure medium (The Internet).

I broke one of the cords for my X11s because I couldn't get past the final American course in Doritos Crash Course.

funnily enough HTTPS can't be hyperlinked on B.net either. I'm assuming because of the encryption dazzarobbo is talking about.

Does it cost any extra resources server side to maintain a Secure encrypted connection or is that minimal effort.

Only regret is I didn't play more of it.

If you haven't noticed by now, I'm sort of a jerk.

Regular "www.bungie.net" for me.

It's too slow for a site such as B.net where I don't really need to secure things that I would otherwise on a site like Yahoo Mail, etc. All I have here is my WLID, which I can access at a variety of places and is relatively secure, IMO.
