What problem are you trying to solve with https?
Privacy.
The data contain no secrets
and are freely available to any who wish to have it, so the immediate
effect of encryption is unneeded.
Public information, but private usage.
If I connect to a clamav database download server anyone can work out
the usage is to download a clamav database. What is being kept private?
True. But this is not so important, according to
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/149274/http-vs-https-performance
This link is interesting too : https://www.httpvshttps.com/
http is "46% faster than HTTPS" according to the test on that page.
My idea is not replacing HTTP with HTTPS. It is just adding support for HTTPS
to freshclam.
Fine. I can't see that I need it.
