This is a site collecting information for a public petition. By definition your GOAL is to share your information publicly. How is it absurd to do so in the open?
What if I decide I don't want to share publicly. By then the contents of the page as I have viewed have been sent unencrypted.
Your headers would still be unencrypted -- including the domain and URL you accessed.
The domain is unencrypted over HTTPS, but the path is encrypted.
So the difference is "you accessed www.dumpyahoo.com" vs "you accessed www.dumpyahoo.com asking for / "...
I agree in this case it isn't very helpful.
Thanks for the correction.
Exactly what do you not wish to share publicly? Signing a petition is public by definition.
