Comment on Open source collaboration across agencies to improve HTTPS deployment

How mature is pshtt?

We (18F/GSA) have been using DHS's tool in production for a few months now, and have fixed various bugs as they've come up.

Before that, pshtt's methodology was replicated in a Ruby tool (site-inspector) that we grafted HTTPS/HSTS detection logic onto, and had that running in production for a year or so.

So in terms of business logic, I think it's pretty mature. If you mean things like having it formally audited or having a dedicated development team, it hasn't gotten there yet. But the more people that use it, the more mature it will get.
