Package: httpfs2
Version: 0.1.4-1.1
Severity: important

Attempts to mount HTTPS URLs end with the following:

$ httpfs2 https://www.example.org/ mnt
Invalid protocol in url: https://www.example.org/
invalid url: https://www.example.org/

The manpage httpfs2(1) indicates that there should be support for HTTPS.

There is no httpfs2_ssl binary that's mentioned in manpage httpfs2(1).
Attempting to hardlink the httpfs2 binary into httpfs2_ssl to alter the argv0,
similar to how it is commonly done with binaries such as busybox, does not
modify the behavior, making me believe the HTTPS functionality is actually
completely missing in this build, which severely limits the functionality of
this package in 2023.
