Great stuff. Would anybody care to clarify why access is through HTTPS and not HTTP?

I presume all accesses to these pods are from within their data center? Or do they directly expose these boxes to clients (whoa!)?

BackBlaze runs online, off-site backups (like Mozy and Carbonite) at $5/month for unlimited storage. HTTPS is used to keep client data protected, I assume
