I still don't understand why we want to prefer an unofficial site to the
official site. I don't think HTTPS can give any extra security when it is not
an official site. Also, FreeBSD ports disable certificate verification by
default. I guess the only benefit is that it is less likely to be blocked by
firewalls.
