Ask PG: When will HN get https authentication?
I'm down in Austin for SXSW. And while I love seeing poor bastards pop up on my Firesheep sidebar, I can't use HN due to my own name popping up in there every time I open the page. When can we get https auth?

I build this for adding GZIP to HN for browsing on my mobile, but as a nice side effect it also does ssl

It is just a VERY simple proxy running on Google App Engine, if you want to throw up your own the source is on github here

It's also faster than the original HN here.
Very nice work!
It's down.
Yeah, there isn't really any error handling. If hn returns an error it just dies, just try reloading the page
I think this is more of an "Ask PG".
Patches are probably welcome.
