Initial commit of Pleasuredome.xml

[ghost]

This ruleset covers the Pleasuredome Tracker and its associated forums.

[J0WI]

We don't redirect https domains.

[J0WI]

This is not a valid TLD

[J0WI]

This host serves a self-signed cert and the rule syntax has several issues.

[ghost]

Sorry, I didn't realise that self-signed certs are disallowed. Several parties have tried - and failed - to convince the webmaster to make use of a properly signed certificate. Therefore, this ruleset will remain inadmissible and I am closing the request.

[J0WI]

They are not disallowed, but then the rule should be default_off.

[ghost]

Incidentally, it is neither mentioned here nor here that redirects from https URLs are a QA violation. Further, some existing rulesets exploit the fact that it can be done.

$ cat *.xml | perl -ne 'print if /rule from="\^?https/ and not /<!--\s*<?rule/' | wc -l
98

Why does HTTPS-Everywhere honour such rules (downgrade attribute notwithstanding) if it is not considered to be an acceptable practice?

EDIT: Thanks for the merge!

[J0WI]

The documentation will soon be improved: https://github.com/EFForg/https-everywhere/pull/8193/files#diff-6a3371457528722a734f3c51d9238c13R230

We hope to get rid of the existing cases, but sadly some servers are really bad configured (see also discussion started in #7717).
