I think the severity is to high as this is merely a suggestion for an
improvement. The "important" severity is intended for a bug which has a
major effect on the usability of a package, without rendering it
completely unusable to everyone. As it is usable as it is, I do not
think that important fits. 

Sorry for the rant, but I am a bit frustrated about this "severity
inflation" - most bug reports I get are about "important" or "serious"
bugs.

Correct, but this does not really tell about https as the geturl method
could use https instead. In the new version uploaded yesterday
(3.7.0-1), it uses SSL instead. I did not really test that feature yet
though.

That's correct, version 3.7.0 of ddclient is the first to support SSL.
Integration of that version is not finished yet but I am working on
getting full SSL support - I don't want to sent my password in plain
text either.

No problem, keep practicing ;-)
