In the past only a few things on the bbc websites could be fetched via TLS without being redirected to plain. |

It is work in progress in : https://github.com/numismatika/https-everywhere/tree/bbc_TLS |

Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.

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
