I'm setting up a local Cygwin package mirror, serving the files over

I think it's HTTP only at the moment. I have no idea how difficult it'd
be to add HTTPS, but if you want to do it correctly it would add quite a
bit of stuff. Note that HTTPS only gives you opaqueness, not any extra
security.
That's really helpful - thanks. I'll switch to plain old HTTP.
