[Minor typo I think] https versus http links on the homepage at: https://pngquant.org/releases.html

Heya kornelski,

If you go to:

https://pngquant.org/releases.html

You see a nice overview of available releases.

If, however had, you try to download one, you get a non-https link such as:

http://pngquant.org/pngquant-2.15.1-src.tar.gz

Should this not also be https there? I am asking in particular because if you go to http://pngquant.org/releases.html you are automatically re-directed onto https://pngquant.org/releases.html. So I would naively assume that the downloads are the same.

(Background how I found this: I actually register all downloadable URLs in a ruby project in general; I saw on another website that there is a new release of pngquant, so I checked it. I try to prefer https these days, but my old entries still had http, so I wanted to see whether https is available. Note that https://pngquant.org/pngquant-2.15.1-src.tar.gz also works, so my naive assumption here is that the .html page listed above has not yet made the switch, unless of course you decided to do so deliberately, in order to allow for older browsers to download or something. Still, then, it is weird that http://pngquant.org/releases.html is an automatic redirect towards https://pngquant.org/releases.html so I really have no idea. I am just reporting this anyway, and yes it is so minor that I wonder whether I should even report it. Anyway cheers! Long live pngquant REDUCE THE FILE SIZE OF EVERYTHING!!!)

Yes, it was meant to be HTTPS link. The site has HSTS set, so your browser should be using HTTPS for it anyway.
