Old browser that doesn't support https?

Hello! Does anyone know of a browser that doesn't support https? It appears that Facebook tries to force https if it is available, but in order to get something to work I need to turn it off, so I'm thinking using a browser where https doesn't exist yet. When was https invented? Was it created after javascript? If I download Internet Explorer 1.0 (lol?) would it not support https? Are there any old mobile browsers that don't have it?

Thanks for any information you can provide. 🙂
 
You'll have to reach back to NCSA Mosaic for that. Good luck with that. 😛

If a site forces HTTPS, it's almost certainly doing so unconditionally.
 
If you find a browser with no HTTPS support, it's probably gonna be a browser that doesn't support 99% of the technology Facebook uses. And that's including CSS, javascript, HTML and loads of other more technical stuff.

If I recall correctly, HTTPS was introduced in 1993, and the first browser to support it was Netscape (that later became Mozilla and later Firefox). Internet Explorer 4 was the first to have the start, if I'm not mistaken.

But it hardly matters, really.
 
haha yes, I tried "NCSA Mosaic 3.0" on XP, and it was so old that Facebook (even m.facebook.com) and Google just crashed the browser upon load. Some old html/javascript sites from 1998 still worked on it though. :awe:

I managed to solve the issue today (related to not fetching pictures correctly), so feel free to mark this thread as [Solved].
