GitHub Pages 正式支援 HTTPS

GitHub 正式宣佈支援 HTTPS:「HTTPS for GitHub Pages」。

其實對使用者來說,前面的 CDN 伺服器已經支援 HTTPS 很久了,但因為之前從 CDN 到 GitHub 這端沒加密,所以一直都不算是正式支援:

You have been able to request Pages sites over HTTPS for some time, but we refrained from officially supporting it because the traffic from our CDN to our servers wasn't encrypted until now.

另外,新建立的 GitHub Pages 都強制上 HTTPS:

Starting next Wednesday (June 15, 2016, 12pm PDT), HTTPS enforcement will be required for all new GitHub Pages sites.

GitHub 的網站功能上 CDN 了...

GitHub Pages 上 CDN 了:「Faster, More Awesome GitHub Pages」。

不過 Apex domain (也就是 domain 本身的 hostname) 無法設定 CNAME record,必須透過 A record,就沒辦法用到 CDN 的地區特性了...

CDN 用的是 Fastly,也丟進 SmokePing 監測好了...
