Not only on HTTPS[edit]

Firefox 109 on Windows also accepts br-encoded content on a non-HTTPS connection. I've just verified this with my own HTTP server implementation, so I know what it does. Where does the original statement come from and why should that be? YGoe (talk) 10:47, 11 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Disclaimer: I worked on Brotli.

ISTM (based on https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1670675#c3) that Firefox will:

not include br in "Accept-Encoding" for non-https connections (unless they target localhost),
accept and correctly handle "Content-Encoding: br" on any connection.

The original reasoning for not offering brotli over non-https can be found in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=366559#c92
