Re: broken and insecure links (Was: comp.lang.prolog Frequently Asked Questions)

GIT does also produce a HTTPS warning and
not allow HTTP at all, it works with a HTTP
client that has redirect(true):

$ git clone http://www.dogelog.ch/dogelog/.git
Cloning into 'dogelog'...
warning: redirecting to https://www.dogelog.ch/dogelog/.git/
Fetching objects: 4613, done.

The warning tells me I have a **security glitch**
using initially HTTP, and I should use a HTTPS
link from the start.

Your SWI-Prolog GIT library might suppress this
warning, which is **not ok** in my opinion. To avoid
the warning I directly publish a HTTPS link:

1 GIT Access
For binary files and source code initially:
git clone https://www.dogelog.ch/dogelog/.git
