Belated.  That page should have been available first or simultaneously
and the anchor should appear in the Red Alert.

I see the https now appears in the Red Alert.
o It's not an anchor.
o It requires credentials, unlike the FTP link.

IBM chooses to hold security alerts close to the vest.  This is no
excuse for making the FTP publicly available but not the HTTPS.
