Twitter has rolled out a new settings that lets you enable http permanently for Twitter. Although encrypted login was available for quite sometime, the user had to manually visit
http://twitter.com for making use of it.
What Twitter has now done is that they have added an option in the Settings to enable http all the time so that you don’t have to type the above mentioned URL every time you want to access Twitter. This feature will be particularly useful for those who tends to access Twitter from unsecured connections such airport or hotel WiFi.
To enable http:
Go to your
Account settings page.
Check the box next to
Always use http. Click
Save.
It is important to note that the mobile Twitter website still uses the old unencrypted login even if you use the http URL.Also users will not be able to make use of http if your Twitter client doesn’t support it!
http stands for HyperText Transfer Protocol with Secure Sockets Layer. http is a protocol to transfer encrypted data over the Web. http encrypts the data sent and received with SSL, while HTTP sends it all as plain text over the Internet.
