Also realize that if you are connected over websockets all data will be transferred unencrypted even if you put log.io behind https. A much better fit for these cases is SSE which works fine over https:

How have I never heard of this before? (Oh, no Firefox or IE support).

Also, I don't believe your claims about WebSockets are true. I thought wss:// would allow for SSL secured WebSocket connections...

edit: Googling indeed seems to indicate that wss is ws over TLS. See: http://websocket.org/echo.html for an example.


Modern HTTPS uses TLS too.
