<p>There is a very heated discussion going on in the web-vr list
concerning the WebVR specification. The browsers companies (at
least Google and Mozilla) are considering making this capability
require that the content arrived over HTTPS. This seems (to me) to
be part of a much larger push to require all content be encrypted.</p>
<p>My point is not to get in a discussion here about the merits of
this idea, but to provide preliminary notice that all Web3D
content is going to need to support HTTPS at the same Profile,
Component/Level as HTTP protocol is supported. It may even be the
case that <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="FILE://">FILE://</a> won't work or will require a configuration
setting change in the browser.<br>
