814085 - Download links for SeaMonkey releases should use SSL protocol

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: Website, defect)

Description

[Alexander L. Slovesnik]

Download links for SeaMonkey releases, such as http://download.mozilla.org/?product=seamonkey-2.14&os=linux&lang=en-US, should use "https" instead of "http". Firefox already uses https for all download links (see http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html)

Callek, we can easily change this in the website template for all download links, but I wonder whether we need to check with anyone at Mozilla whether we're allowed to do that (think extra load on download infra).

I say go for it (sorry missed initial need-info) the added load from SeaMonkey should be negligable. Though I don't actually believe using https:// for the download.m.o (for us) holds much value, I don't object. (I'll note it was only even created in https on firefox side this year)

Checking in lib/config.tmpl;
/www/seamonkeyproject-org/lib/config.tmpl,v  <--  config.tmpl
new revision: 1.144; previous revision: 1.143
done
Checking in lib/release.tmpl;
/www/seamonkeyproject-org/lib/release.tmpl,v  <--  release.tmpl
new revision: 1.19; previous revision: 1.18
done

Note that I only changed download.mozilla.org links since releases.mozilla.org doesn't seem to accept https (yet).
