I am not a pro-programmer (or anywhere near) but I do have a solution to my problem that I can not fix. In my school, there are many websites that are blocked for securtiy concerns, including http://minecraft.net. The thing is the computers can connect to httpS://minecraft.net (emphesized the s). Anyway, the World of Minecraft client for classic needs to varify minecraft accounts by connecting to minecraft, but it trys to connect to the http:// one instead. I was just wondering if someone (dev) could look into the programming where it would verify account and add the s. It will solve my problem. Thanx for listening to my cry for help. I appreciate any help.

WoM wi not help someone bypass network security cause that would be just wrong and also SSL Certs cost money and i mean a lot of money per year so unless you want to fork it over http will be the protocall

when you add the s ito the

when you add the s ito the name it reads it as a secure sight, so you really aren't bypassing it, you are just allowing it to accept the website. the s on the http literally stands for secure, Therefore it is a secure sight and the firewall deems it worthy. this won't cost any money, all it will do is add a letter to allow the computer recognize it is secure. the s will be put in the coding where neccessary.

You can't just add an S to it.

Adding the S does cost money, as SSf Explained. If we could just add the S to Http:// Then every website would have it. Which they don't.

https is HTTP SSL protocall and it does cost money for the SSL Certs that are needed for it. If your school does not allow Minecraft, why would World of Minecraft pay money to go under https to bypass your school's network VPN/Proxy servers and firewalls so you can play Minecraft classic that will be gone in early 2014 (if i recall from a twitter post) by Mojang. i dont get it

Is playing minesweeper and OpenTTD considered "Learning" while I am not doing anything at school?
