Encrypted Web

Encrypted Web is a "fork" of HTTPS-Everywhere (GitHub) for the [Pale Moon] (http://www.palemoon.org/) browser.

Installing

The extension files are available on the releases page. To install the extension, click on the encryptedweb-*.xpi link.

Some older version releases have the XPI within a ZIP file.

Building it yourself

Install the necessary packages:

sudo apt-get install libxml2-dev libxml2-utils libxslt1-dev python-dev zip sqlite3 python-pip zlib1g-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev
sudo pip install lxml

Build the Pale Moon extension as a .xpi package:

bash makexpi.sh

Both of the build commands store their output under pkg/.

Precommit Testing

One can run the available test suites automatically by enabling the precommit hook provided with:

ln -s ../../hooks/precommit .git/hooks/pre-commit

Hacking on the Source Code

Please submit changes by making a pull request to this repository. Issues may be reported via the bug tracker in this repository.

Writing rulesets

Please submit your rulesets to the HTTPS Everywhere project. Rulesets will be pulled from upstream from time to time.

Tests

There are some very basic unittests under https-everywhere-tests/. These are run with

bash test.sh

Please note that these tests will not work with Pale Moon, any patches are appreciated.

upstream also states:

There are also ruleset tests, which aim to find broken rulesets by actually loading URLs in a browser and watching for Mixed Content Blocking to fire. The easiest way to run ruleset tests is to load a standalone Firefox instance with the tests enabled:

bash test.sh --justrun

Then click the HTTPS Everywhere icon on the toolbar, and click "Run HTTPS Everywhere Ruleset Tests." When you run the tests, be prepared to let your computer run them for a really long time.
