Perguntas frequentes
-
What is the difference between HSTS and HTTPS?
HTTPS encrypts the connection between a browser and a server, but a browser can still attempt an initial plain HTTP request before being redirected. HSTS is a response header that instructs the browser to never use HTTP for that host again for a set duration, removing the downgrade window that HTTPS alone leaves open.
-
Why does the HSTS preload list require a minimum max-age of one year?
The preload list hard-codes HTTPS-only enforcement into the browser, so it is meant for sites committed to HTTPS long term. A one-year (31536000 second) minimum demonstrates that commitment and prevents domains from being added casually and then reverting, which would leave users stranded on a host that can no longer serve HTTPS.
-
What does the includeSubDomains directive actually affect?
It extends the HTTPS-only policy from the exact host that sent the header to every subdomain beneath it. If set on example.com, browsers will also refuse plain HTTP to api.example.com and blog.example.com. It is required for preload submission, so every subdomain must be reachable over HTTPS before enabling it.
