Is there an easy way to get DSU tools to pull files from linux.dell.com
via HTTP, instead of HTTPS?

We're trying to use a squid caching proxy, rather than creating our own
local mirror.  But while something like squid can proxy the HTTPS
traffic via a CONNECT tunnel, it can't actually cache it.  If we can get
it to use HTTP, then I'm pretty sure it would be easily cache-able.

The other alternative is to MitM it via squid's sslBump mechanism, but
I'd *really* rather not do that.

The linux.dell.com server is actually still serving HTTP, at least for
now (eg. http://linux.dell.com/repo/hardware/dsu/os_independent/ instead
of https://linux.dell.com/repo/hardware/dsu/os_independent/), so in
theory, it should be possible.
