As a site owner that is somehow not my problem. It's not my fault that you have a shitty ISP. I can understand and support that argument.

I do TLS only for my stuff however.

Really don't think you're grasping this and lack an understanding of packet routing.

Please type:

  traceroute apache.org
It's not just your ISP that's potentially shitty, it's every single hop on that list. Even worse if the person is using an open wifi connection.

Apache will happily serve you an insecure connection, they are the 80th top site on the internet. This type of stuff should be called out by technologists and it's incredibly disappointing when its handwaved away.

That is still not my problem as a site owner.
