Comment:

 Reopening for consideration. It's been 12 years since `wontfix` and 5
 years since previous comment.
 World has moved on and HTTPS is pretty much de facto everywhere. Even in
 local development.

 https://security.googleblog.com/2025/10/https-by-default.html

 > [...] with the release of Chrome 154 in October 2026, we will change the
 default settings of Chrome to enable “Always Use Secure Connections”. This
 means Chrome will ask for the user's permission before the first access to
 any public site without HTTPS.
