It is not planned that Nabble will support SSL/HTTPS.

As will be seen in this combined set of posts made on 19-20 September 2017, Nabble's lead programmer explained how Nabble is to be replaced by Blasma, a new embeddable forum product.

I'm curious what kinds of changes you have in the works.  We're a pretty heavy user of Nabble and would be happy to collaborate on changes that might improve the overall features & benefits of Nabble.

Right now I am just trying to make Nabble stable enough to that I can then work on other things like Blasma.  This mostly involves removing features that cause trouble.

... The one major shortfall that I hope doesn't lead to the demise of Nabble is the ability to run on SSL...

Blasma will support SSL.  And Blasma will be completely open source, so I hope others contribute and add features.  I will initially focus on the features that I personally use and that doesn't include the email features you mentioned, but features like that should be added over time.  People will be able to move from Nabble to Blasma whenever they want.  One other difference is that with Blasma, each forum will have its own copy of the code and the admin can upgrade whenever he wants, so code changes will cause less problems.

Interesting.  Is there somewhere I can learn more about Blasma?

Not yet.  I want to work on one thing at a time.  I will get to Blasma in about 2 months.  Then I will post about it here.
