Has anyone thought about supporting https on the Lazarus (and Free Pascal) websites? Firefox, for example, is getting increasingly sniffy about unprotected websites and for good reason.

It would also be useful to protect the svn feeds, if only to reduce the risk of a man in the middle attack sneaking something nasty into the source code.

Let's encrypt (https://letsencrypt.org/) seems to offer a very good free service for https certificates where the objective is to protect the connection and give reasonable confidence that you are talking to the named website, so there does not seem to be a cost reason why https is not supported.
