Hello all, It recently came to my attention that hackage is http only. I would love to do anything I can to help hackage support https. What is the process for volunteering with the IHG (I imagine this is the avenue for helping with hackage/haskell.org). If the IHG is having dificulty getting an SSL certificate, GlobalSign (ful disclosure, they are my employer) provides free certificates to FOSS projects. here is a link: https://www.globalsign.com/ssl/ssl-open-source/ I am also concerned that cabal does not have support for SSL, but hackage must come first and at least then a sufficiently paranoid person can download their packages over https and ad them to their cabal sandboxes. Cheers, Eli
