Hi all,
I am using akregator as my mail reader on debian 13 "Trixie". I have noticed that it is fetching feeds through unencrypted connections. (Feed url has https part) Is it a debian bug or kde doesn't implemented https in it's feed reader?
I checked it that through status bar in akregator that tells whether a connection is encrypted or in plain text. However after that I checked it through I used ``tcpdump`` and scanned traffic on port 80 while fetching the feeds no out, on the other hand on 443 it is showing some connections. I would like to mention that it is my first time using any networking tool, and I followed some article from the net. So maybe I am doing it wrong. But if traffic is going through port 443 and is encrypted, shouldn't this count as a bug? I would also appreciate if you guys could try to replicate and confirm, or deny it on your machine.
Eg. feeds: Eg: https://planet.debian.org/rss20.xml, https://planet.kde.org/global/atom.xml
Thanks.
