Comment:

 Sigh.  Lack of site-wide HTTPS support on Scribd is a serious privacy and
 security problem for their readers.

 Negres has been doing a lot of work trying to get HTTPS Everywhere to cope
 with Scribd's buggy HTTPS deployment, but we're going to need someone at
 the company's end to help.  I'm CCing their webmaster address in the vain
 hope that that reaches a human who can forward this to their engineers.

 I'm disabling this HTTPS Everywhere ruleset for the time being.
