Type: ruleset issue

Domain: http://bbc.co.uk

Hi all,

Thanks for software

Hope you're well

This[s] audio podcast's episodes won't play with http everywhere installed. Although the .rss feed is served as https the .mp3 episodes are served as http.

It's actually an issue with all the BBC podcasts I subscribe to

Before I attempt to contact the BBC, prompting their adoption of universal https, please confirm whether:

a) BBCs lack of https support is the root of the problem, or;
b) it's a https everywhere ruleset issue, or;
c) both?

NB I attempted to fix this issue by disabling some https everywhere features but no luck which makes me suspicious this isn't just a)

It would sure be nice to have my podcasts back without having to disable https everywhere extension

If you have any issues (e.g. questions/queries) happy to help

Hope this is clear/useful and to hear back

Keep up great work!

Yours faithfully

PS couldn't really make sense of https://www.eff.org/https-everywhere/atlas/domains/bbci.co.uk.html so if it's relevant I'd love to know how to interpret this resource in the future

In the past only a few things on the bbc websites could be fetched via TLS without being redirected to plain.
This made the rules quite ugly. Recently the BBC began to secure their websites and announced that on their blog.
So before we go over the bbc rules again, it would make sense to wait until they are done converting their website to fully support TLS.

It is older than i remembered.
Maybe we should try again with a clean file with no exceptions and go from there.

It is work in progress in : https://github.com/numismatika/https-everywhere/tree/bbc_TLS
Right now i am just testing the base urls for the most obvious redirects to plain.
Then i will browse the page and see which subfolders cause problems.
