Yes! This is still in the experimental phase of development. So it won't be glitch free for a while as we are still implementing and rebooting systems and so forth. But it is coming together. Note that the http:// protocol should be solid right now. But we are still working through the details of certificate renewal with https:// protocol and as you know the devil is in the details. We are building a distributed scaled-out mirror system. That makes using the typical Let's Encrypt http-01 domain validation problematic. We will either use one of the other challenge methods or some other method as yet to be determined to do automated renewal. It's still a work in progress. > This has been created expressly to offload the "extra" overhead on > Savannah's side that is involved with adding the HTTPS protocol atop > the underlying SSH based access to the git service for users doing > anonymous clones of git repositories.
