Could Launchpad at least allow mirrors to specify https links on the
mirror list? I find Tsinghua University mirror
(http://mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/ubuntu/) redirects http to https,
and two mirrors set HSTS headers when requested over HTTPS
(https://mirrors.wikimedia.org/ubuntu/,
https://mirrors.cat.pdx.edu/ubuntu/). I think if mirrors are willing to
prefer or enforce HTTPS, Ubuntu should allow them to use https in their
mirror's URL.
