big take away: if you're using dependencies that talk across the internet, make sure they're ALSO using HTTPS

smt88 on Dec 9, 2014 [–]

There's genuinely no excuse for Flurry (or any other vendor) to have an API that is not secured with HTTPS by default. I can't think of any reason other than stupidity or laziness, and those aren't excuses.

This is especially true of Flurry, which is tailored for connections directly from devices.
