HTTPS does not seem to be properly configured on their servers anyway, I get an "You attempted to reach www.theguardian.com, but instead you actually reached a server identifying itself as *.a.ssl.fastly.net." error when trying to connect over HTTPS.

That's interesting because they do have content protected by a sign in system. Are they just not using HTTPS for that? I kind of expected more from the Guardian.

It's a CDN. CloudFlare operates the same way.
