I really don't like this.

I'm happy to support https for those people that want to use it but I
see no need to require https for everybody for tomcat.apache.org.

We should not be dictating to our users what security / privacy /
caching / performance / etc. trade-offs are appropriate for them. We
should support as many options as possible and let our users decided.

I'm not quite -1 on this but I am close.
