Thanks, I'm not a fan of automatic http to HTTPs redirects. It would break support for some text-based clients or some simple scripts as an example. HSTS support makes sure http to https links are changed on the client-side. Using a bookmark to the https version of suckless then fixes it. But I'd like to hear more opinions about this, it can be changed. Absolute links (if needed) on the wiki page can be rewritten to the standard form, for example: http://git.suckless.org/ to //git.suckless.org/ then it uses the current protocol scheme to connect and it works for both http and https. Ofcourse using relative paths are recommended. An exception to this rule is if a page specifies: git clone http://git.suckless.org/project then it should be: git clone https://git.suckless.org/project -- Kind regards, Hiltjo
