The only reason was to have this tutorial work: https://www.kirupa.com/html5/accessing_your_webcam_in_html5.htm
Chrome made a change where webcam access only works on HTTPS connections on the internet, and that meant the old kirupa.com servers had to go through a 5 minute process to get it all up and running. MediaTemple made that part really easy. The only complicated part was doing a find/replace on almost all of the HTML files to replace http://www.kirupa.com with https://www.kirupa.com.
