Summary: Please provide https option for winehq.org
           Product: WineHQ.org
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: www-unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

A user asked this in #winehackers, and I've been meaning to file this bug
myself...For some users (e.g., in China), winehq may trigger their national
firewalls, since certain words may be detected by the filter.

Plus, sending passwords over plaintext is just a bad idea anyway.

Thanks very much for reporting this bug!
I'm from China, I can confirm that winehq may trigger our national firewalls.

Plenty of the content still has hard http:// URLs though, so I imagine that
will require some work still.

Sure, but that can be another bug (or not, we are aware of it already).

The wiki is hosted separately. I filed bug 34443 for that.
