I think this site is the only one left, not using HTTPS... :)

Necro LUL bump

Sometimes at work customers have issues with WiFi captive portals and I tell them to open bots4.net and due to http it will always open the portal :)

This would be great, and fairly easy to add these days with Let's Encrypt.

BUMP!

Believe it or not, this is actually what I was last working on when I was working on bots4 stuff!

This is hilarious.

You underestimate my incompetence. When I tried enabling HTTPS for the first time last year (using Let's Encrypt), the server went down so I had to revert. :P I haven't tried again since then...but I will, soon^TM.

Sounds like a perfect time to make a server clone + reset on the game called bots4 blue and test out HTTPS on it ;D

Funny enough that's what bots2 blue was to begin with, it was just a test server for new ideas.

Why bring up a test instance when you can just test in production on your unsuspecting users? :P I'm only half-joking...

I don't think I knew that about bots2 blue. Did it have anything unique to it? As an aside, I do like the idea of some sort of beta program for bots4 where I could let people try something out in a way that doesn't affect their main account - I've kicked that around idea a bit in my head over time, but haven't really had the need to justify building the infrastructure for that.

I disagree with his assumption of the blue server being a test server. My understanding was it was designed and created as an alleviation of the user limit placed on the green server at the time of its introduction, as people were waiting in a queue to login to the game as the server had a user limit.

That's my recollection as well (and I remember being excited to get a star to get login priority back when the number of concurrent players was limited).

Still need this :P
