From: Winkler, Tomas
Date: Sun Jul 19 2020 - 02:03:34 EST


>
> Rationale:
> Reduces attack surface on kernel devs opening the links for MITM as HTTPS
> traffic is much harder to manipulate.
>
> Deterministic algorithm:
> For each file:
> If not .svg:
> For each line:
> If doesn't contain `\bxmlns\b`:
> For each link, `\bhttp://[^# \t\r\n]*(?:\w|/)`:
> If neither `\bgnu\.org/license`, nor `\bmozilla\.org/MPL\b`:
> If both the HTTP and HTTPS versions
> return 200 OK and serve the same content:
> Replace HTTP with HTTPS.
