As i said earlier in a reply to Loui, maybe we can do it better.Having https only for login and then redirecting to http is like not having it at all.
Simply using https for all connections is the easiest and best solution imho. Everything in between is either insecure or inconvenient for the users. And I also don't see the need for it. Every sane http client should handle a http redirect and https. If it does not it's just a bug in the client. Of course it is unfortunate that this wasn't tested by the clyde author before.
I would appreciate if you consult aur-dev before making changes to the AUR. Can you please describe how you made this change, and how we can enable normal http?
seriously, why did you changed it back to http over https? in less than 1 day all aur helpers are working again and i don't see a reason to use http again. Really, what's the point? -- Ionuț
