(Flavours Download) Change links for kubuntu and xubuntu to point to https rather than http

[Paul Meeke]

Kubuntu and Xubuntu, both have https links which would be better placed for the external links.

Easy Test from the Flavours-Download-Page:

http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu-flavours

Counter test is possible by installation of the Firefox-Addon
"HTTPs-everywhere"

Tests have shown that the Kubuntu switches over then, just if you deactivate encryption, it connects over normal http://

This means the choice is left with the user, as it may not be ideal if one is on a restricted data-rate with a mobile device.

The projects can do this by themself with redirect, if they wish so. That's the common way if one doesn't want to spoil SEO.

Just read more about it: https://www.eff.org/https-everywhere#

So... is this a request to use https as default?

@ paul-meeke-i

It may also be interesting to look at The Fridge's [1] Navigation Panel, where the Flavours-Web-presencehave found a mention too.

[1] http://fridge.ubuntu.com/

Would just be nice to have consistent appearance.

@ ovidu-florin: Looks like that to me: Directing to the outer-websites of the Flavour-projects with https enabled by default. That was the reason for adding the Kubuntu-website-project.

we will update the protocols eitherway.
