Comment:

 Now that SourceForge is back online, it looks like https is not actually
 required. If ports use the correct path to the SourceForge file, they
 download fine over http, and since that's still allowed, we want to
 continue to do so to support older clients. If ports don't specify the
 correct path, then a series of redirects leads to https, which on older
 clients can lead to an SSL error. So, ports should use the correct path,
 as in wiki:howto/AvoidRedirects. Fixed dict to do so in
 [cf38763e36878d0d2b87b8ebac5f8a36b4833223/macports-ports].
