@stilkov Why? IMHO encryption by default would be a really nice feature. Why wouldn't you want it (except for higher HW requirements)?

@stilkov what many people do not see is that the ssl trick prevents proxies to break spdy traffic, like they did with http 1.1 pipelining

@CodingFabian I'm not suggesting to drop TLS support, just to make it optional.

@stilkov I don't! Too many unencrypted connections out there and today performance is not THAT big a deal. Whats the argument against it?
