WebIDE attempts to download from a URL like:

https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/labs/fxos-simulator/3.0/mac64/fxos_3_0_simulator-mac64-latest.xpi

which used to work.  This now gives a 302 response, redirecting to:

http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/labs/fxos-simulator/3.0/mac64/fxos_3_0_simulator-mac64-latest.xpi

which then gives a download error.

I believe the 302 redirect itself is okay, but the redirect switches from HTTPS to HTTP.  I believe we need to preserve HTTPS here.

:oremj, this sounds related to the CloudFront migration, as it seems to have started recently.

Can you investigate?

Indeed, the browser console reports a cert check error IIRC.

[Jeremy Orem [:oremj]]

These should now redirect to https instead of http.

Great, I just verified this fixed the issue.  Thanks Jeremy!
