:) I would like to think that April Fools would be a little more extreme
than this
Petr, the data people are downloading from dumps is not sensitive itself,
but a user's private information (such as User Agent, IP, etc. is
vulnerable over plain http). So the move to https protects that from
Cross-posting this announcement since people on Analytics-l tend to use
dumps a lot
basically http access is being redirected to https starting April 4th

We plan to make this change on April 4 (this coming Monday), redirecting
plain http access to https.
A reminder that our dumps can also be found on our mirror sites, for those
who may have restricted https access.
