I can confirm. A fresh standard install I did a few months ago (14.0-release
probably) failed to install packages due to https errors. I knew packages
were signed, so didn't investigate the cause of the failure, just changed
pkg+https to pkg+http and all worked ok.

pkg+https was definitely the installed default.
