Jul 25, 2008 5:04pm contarc Script's Author	http://gmailblog.blogspot.com/2008/07/making-se... Google finally adds 'always use https' option to Gmail.

Jul 24, 2008 11:33pm contarc Script's Author	FF3user: Here is a thread addressing your question. http://bytes.com/forum/thread148000.html Basically it boils down to it being implied when you do not specify 'window'. Differences between Google Secure and Google Secure Pro: Google Secure forces SSL on https://www.google.com/accounts/* https://www.google.com/a/* http://mail.google.com/a/. Google Secure Pro forces SSL on http://mail.google.com/ http://www.google.com/calendar/* http://docs.google.com/* http://spreadsheets.google.com/* http://www.google.com/reader/* http://www.google.com/bookmarks/* http://www.google.com/history/* http://groups.google.com/* http://sites.google.com/* I do not include google.com/accounts because this page is already SSL forced. Same with google.com/health. No idea why Google doesn't force Gmail to use this by default. It's just plain silly on their part.

Jun 11, 2008 8:43pm FF3user User	Hey... What difference does it do, not having 'window' in the code like your script doesn't?: `location.href = location.href.replace(/^http:/, 'https:');` Contrary to this: `window.location.href = window.location.href.replace(/^http:/, 'https:');` Like the http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/8311 'Google Secure' script have. And what is the difference between your script and this script: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/26175 'Secure GMail'? Also: Why doesn't Gmail do this by default? Why not use https all the time? there must be a reason?
