It might be useful to keep actual http mirrors for cases where TLS |
| 11 |
isn't possible for some reason, but any mirror that just redirects http |
| 12 |
to https wouldn't fall in that category and there the http version |
| 13 |
could be removed since the only benefit of http (no TLS) is not |
| 14 |
actually available. |
