Why HTTPs for Google-hosted javascript files?
Submitted by kosmofilo on Thu, 06/16/2011 - 02:15If FeedsAnywhere doesn't use HTTPs internally, why does it use for requesting jQuery from Google?
Potentially the greatest benefit of using the Google AJAX Libraries CDN is that your users may not need to download jQuery at all.
No matter how well optimized your site is, if you’re hosting jQuery locally then your users must download it at least once. Each of your users probably already has dozens of identical copies of jQuery in their browser’s cache, but those copies of jQuery are ignored when they visit your site.

Using HTTPs defeats this purpose since HTTPs requests aren't cached.

I got the link from Google's site and they recommended https. I wasn't aware that prevented caching. It's switched to http now.

Sorry, the second and third
Sorry, the second and third paragraphs are a quote from that link. I didn't notice that this forum didn't allow blockquote before making my post.
