Description Wilhelm Joys Andersen 2014-02-25 02:07:35 UTC
Section 5 says:

"All WebDriver implementations must support navigating between different HTTP domains and between HTTPS and HTTP domains if the underlying browser supports this."

Section 5.2.2 says:

"WebDriver implementations must support users accessing sites served via HTTPS."

The first requirement has a cop-out which the second lacks. The latter requirement should be rephrased or removed.

Section 5.2.2 isn't right, and the section 5 bit is correct. If the browser supports HTTPS, it should be possible to test sites using that.
