I didn't tell to disable HTTP. Of course you add a redirect there and
you might even add the HSTS header. It's not only about links, also
people will just typoe in "aur.archlinux.org" into their browser bar and
that will open http by default.

Anyway, I see I am talking to walls here. Sometimes I wonder why there
is so much resistance against encryption. One would think it was the
other way round.
