I can support HTTPS in the X3D JSON Loader for loading JSON files, but someone should test it. I will once I get my HTTPS server running again (it’s in a down virtual box and we’re migrating to a physical server, <a href="https://x3d.carlsonsolutiondesign.com">https://x3d.carlsonsolutiondesign.com</a>.</p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I assume file:// can go over SFTP if necessary (if there’s no https server). I think node.js is ready to support HTTPS, given a certificate and a key. Likely it will be a painful transition, but very good for privacy.
