I'm using firefox 43.0.4

The link:
https://httpd.apache.org/dist/

does not exist anywhere on https://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi

nor does http://httpd.apache.org/dist/
I've searched the source.
The problem is that every single link on this https page is to a http
page. If this is a shared source, for the http and https versions,
which I suspect it it, this could be fixed by making the href for
instance to
//httpd.apache.org/dist/

I think that's the problem, as I understand it, the certificate would
have to be *.*.apache.org, in order to cover www.eu.apache.org, but
I'm no expert in the finer details of certificate management.

Please see the link
https://www.sslshopper.com/ssl-checker.html#hostname=www.eu.apache.org
to verify the problem.
