Ask PG: When will HN get https authentication?

I build this for adding GZIP to HN for browsing on my mobile, but as a nice side effect it also does ssl

It is just a VERY simple proxy running on Google App Engine, if you want to throw up your own the source is on github here

It's down.

Yeah, there isn't really any error handling. If hn returns an error it just dies, just try reloading the page

It's also faster than the original HN here.

Very nice work!

I think this is more of an "Ask PG".

Patches are probably welcome.
