Comment (by Aymeric):

 So, you are promoting HTTPS Everywhere but it's not an issue for you not
 to be able to use the flash proxy tag on https sites? And the Stanford
 flash proxy presentation site is using https...

 That's a kind of strange, even if one might not trust SSL/TLS with
 browsers.

 I brought the issue to different lists, always getting the same answer
 (security issue to downgrade from https to http but no problem to use
 https with http...), lists that do not perceive (or don't want) the fact
 that using ws with something more secure on top of it rather than wss can
 be better.

 Maybe you and other organizations should weigh more in the specification
 process.
