There's really no reason these days for not using https.

Only three mirrors work with it right now:

sa-update.razx.cloud
sa-update.pccc.com
sa-update.mailfud.org

Could maybe others prepare for it?  sa-update seems to happily use https://
mirrors starting from 3.4.0, so there shouldn't be any reason not to update
these.

Btw I just updated DNS to https too:
mirrors.updates.spamassassin.org.  
"https://spamassassin.apache.org/updates/MIRRORED.BY";

Apparently spamassassin.apache.org has had https-redirect for a long time,
which broke the old checkSAupdateMirrors.sh script too.

Unfortunately my server fossies.org currently uses a commercial certificate only usable for the names "fossies.org" and "www.fossies.org" but not for "sa-update.fossies.org" and some first general tests some months ago using Let's Encrypt were not yet successful.

Since I don't know when I have time for a new attempt (probably summer/autumn after a big hardware migration) and the https request seems understandable you may remove the server "sa-update.fossies.org"
if meaningful (relatively easy to get over, since it only has a weight of 1).
