[Bug 8104] New: Use HTTPS for http://sa-update.space-pro.be/

https://bz.apache.org/SpamAssassin/show_bug.cgi?id=8104

            Bug ID: 8104
           Summary: Use HTTPS for http://sa-update.space-pro.be/
           Product: Spamassassin
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Website/Infrastructure
          Assignee: dev@spamassassin.apache.org
          Reporter: simon@sdeziel.info
  Target Milestone: Undefined

It seems that http://sa-update.space-pro.be/ is also reachable using HTTPS
(https://sa-update.space-pro.be/). I tested the other HTTP URLs in
https://spamassassin.apache.org/updates/MIRRORED.BY and that's the only one
using HTTP while HTTPS is functional.

As such, would it be possible to contact the mirror admin, Rene Schwarz and ask
if it would be OK to use HTTPS by default?

NOTE: The sa-updates verified with both a hash and PKI signature by default. 
https doesn't really move the security needle much here.

Dear Simon, thank you for reaching out to me. Yes, it would be fine from my
point of view to switch to HTTPS for this mirror. The server is configured for
providing the data via both HTTP and HTTPS.

I think it's purely due to historic reasons that the mirror is still enlisted
with HTTP: It was added almost 10 years ago and never changed since then.

I don't want to judge whether this would actually be a sensible change in the
context of the Spamassassin update mechanism. Having said this, @Kevin, please
decide by yourself about it. I am equally fine with both options: Sticking to
HTTP or changing it to HTTPS.

I contacted Rene Schwarz asking for permission to use HTTPS, let's see what he
thinks.
