Use HTTPS for tracking
I'm new to using Wakoopa and I was curious about what the tracker sends home, especially with regard to web applications. I have my reservations about it sending a list of all the sites I visited, but I actually trust that you guys treat this highly detailed account of everything I'm up to online with the caution and respect you promise. I cannot say the same for other random guys on my network, or somewhere along the way to your servers. Therefore I was a bit surprised that all the information is being sent via HTTP, not HTTPS.
Maybe I'm sounding a bit overly paranoid here. Obviously, CIA special agents are not the intended users for Wakoopa, but given the level of detail of what is posted, this may affect "normal" people as well:
It would require only minor modifications on your end to make the tracker post back via HTTPS, and this would ensure that you guys are again the only party to receive the data.

h: "c5652f8013f9434660...",
d:

{
h: "getsatisfaction.com",t: [[11,127,0,0],[12,255,0,0]]
},
{
h: "wetriffs.com",t: [[11,27,0,0]]
}
]
}

Inappropriate?I get your concern. We are working on a rewrite of the tracker that will allow for HTTPS data instead of HTTP. I can't give you a specific ETA on this, but it's definitely on our list and in development.
I’m confident

Inappropriate?If your network guys are sniffing your traffic, then they already know which sites you are going to without having to harvest that data from Wakoopa packets. But they could be malicious and alter the packet data so that it changes which sites you visit. But really, what network engineer has the time or the interest in doing that?

this is one of the best points
