The .mac Keychain Access 'not a bug' bug

I am not a .Mac user, but when it was free it used standard pop. That means you are sending your password in clear text across the internet anyway. If that is the same, why would anyone think their password is "secure" anyway?

The .mac Keychain Access 'not a bug' bug
Authored by: Jaharmi on Mar 24, '03 12:06:21PM

Before the .Mac service became a pay-for service, you could encrypt all traffic. For a while after iTools became .Mac, I had problems using the secure protocols. I tried enabling more-secure logins and SSL again this month (March 2003) and they work again.

I'm not sure whether the iDisk feature supports HTTPS or not. I know in the early days of iTools on Mac OS X, you could start a connection by using an HTTP URL, but that doesn't necessarily mean anything.
