Add some credentials and log in

Let’s see if it the request is over HTTPS?

20151113-buzzfeed-login-http-post

That’s a big NO.  A GET request is made to: http://www.buzzfeed.com/buzfeed/_www_login

Let’s try adding the “s” ourselves.  https://www.buzzfeed.com/buzfeed/_www_login

Do they have any TLS or SSL configured at all?

The Akamai configuration supports secure protocols, but on only 1 of 3 servers.  The two AWS servers don’t have secure protocols configured.
