Does Facebook only support HTTP or does it have HTTPS also?
-
Yes - have a look at https://ssl.facebook.com/, however I do not think it is intended for use. All links from this site will redirect you back to non-SSL. I suppose it's grand if you want to check your live feed securely.
As a note: Going to https://www.facebook.com will throw a certificate error, so rather use the above link for access.
Michael Pryor : Why do they have that weird setup?Kyle Rozendo : @Micheal - To be honest I've found it quite weird myself and am not sure at all. I don't think it's meant to be used though since all links redirect away from SSL.From Kyle Rozendo -
Apparently, lack of SSL is a long standing issue:
Why Can't I Access Facebook via HTTPS/SSL?

That Firefox add-on will force SSL connections for Facebook, in addition to a growing number of other websites that support SSL (like wikipedia, google, meebo, etc). Future add-on updates will add support for additional sites.
