To date, the Dutch ArcGIS Content is offered via both HTTP and HTTPS, but from September this will change to HTTPS only. The reason for this is that ArcGIS Online will enforce HTTPS-only communication starting December 2020. Anticipating this, our services have been available only via HTTPS since September 1, 2020. In the coming weeks, all possible HTTP references still present in the content will be changed to HTTPS. This is done before September to ensure that the ArcGIS Content continues to work when ArcGIS Online switches to HTTPS-only in December. In this blog, you can read about the consequences for the content your organization uses every day.<\/P>
