Secured Facebook, unsecured applications

by on Apr.23, 2011, under General

I have always been a supporter for secured connection whenever possible andI will always connect via https if it is available. I have been waiting for https connectivity for Facebook for a long time and it was made available recently.

The disappointing part is that some (or all?) of the application are not supporting this yet. I still get requests to change the the unsecured http connections in order to access the applications. The message below shows one of such requests. I feel it defeats the purpose of going with the secured connection in the first place, and I refuse to go back to http and hence not using those apps. Let us see when the applications will take up https connections.

Switch to regular connection (http)?

Sorry! We can’t display this content while you’re viewing Facebook over a secure connection (https).
Would you like to temporarily switch to a regular connection (http) to use this app?
You will have a secure connection upon your next login.
