I had this conversation on IRC. Anyone know if this is a problem? My web understanding is old.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
06:11 < mchelen> any reason why ubuntustudio.org doesn't default to HTTPS?
07:56 < OvenWerks> mchelen: no idea.
09:15 < mchelen> OvenWerks: it's not great security practice, given that there are links to .iso downloads (which are also HTTP) 09:50 < OvenWerks> mchelen: that may be true, however, web page setup is not my thing. I am not sure who is doing web stuff right now. 09:59 < mchelen> OvenWerks: ok, yeah I wasn't sure where to create an issue or anything 09:59 < OvenWerks> mchelen: do you know if xubuntu's site is any different? I think the same person worked on both 10:01 < mchelen> OvenWerks: visiting http://xubuntu.org correctly redirects to https 10:04 < OvenWerks> mchelen: I will drop this coversation on the dev mailing list and see what comes from it. 10:36 < mchelen> OvenWerks: ok thanks! hopefully its just a matter of creating a redirect
----------------------------------------------------------------------
My understanding, is that https is useful when personal info is shared over the net. ubuntustudio.org is, so far as I can tell, one way. That is, we provide info/files and the user DL them, they do not sign in or give comments or anything. Am I missing something?
