We are happy to announce that Libre Pathology has gone https.

What is https?

Why the change?

We wanted to enhance privacy. We also believe that we are join good company, e.g. Wikipedia, PubMed.

Thanks

A very big thanks goes to the project Let's Encrypt (https://letsencrypt.org). Their effort spurned us to go https.

Beyond that, we thanks the folks at Debian (https://debian.org) and our hosting provider. They made the implementation relatively painless.
