Here's one from just yesterday: the password reset form for sched.com, which the Linux Foundation uses for schedules, is HTTP. I had to follow this link to upload my slides for a talk I'm giving at a LF conference next week.

Yes, the ideal, which we should all be actively working towards, is HTTPS. That doesn't mean that the world is already there.

Note that Let's Encrypt, which is making universal https possible, is also part of the Linux Foundation.

I was going to complain to sched.com for you, but I can't replicate the problem:

https://ossna19.sched.com/password-reset is the default and http://ossna19.sched.com/password-reset redirects to it.

(I work for the Linux Foundation.)

The email you get in your inbox when you do that is http. It starts with http://a.sched.com/track/click/.

I worked with Sched.com this week based on your feedback and that link is now https. Thanks.
