Hey Demi,

Thanks for this series -- we definitely want the build system to use secure
transports when available.  Can you confirm that you've tested the "+s"
versions of all the URLs in this patch, and verified that they actually
work?

If you haven't, I realize that may be somewhat tedious, but I think it's
pretty important.  You should be able to automate  a lot of it using `curl
--head --fail`. [1]
