HTTPS for release artifacts on eddylab.org

[xunjieli]

Currently documentation says to download the source code from http://eddylab.org/software/hmmer/hmmer.tar.gz. Plain HTTP is blocked for security reasons for us and probably at other institutions. Can you consider serving that source code from a server that supports HTTPS?
In the meantime, I will download the source code from Github's release page.

I'm planning to have our web site support https but it is not a high priority. Probably sometime next year.

Blocking http sounds like a bad IT decision that your folks should think again about. I'm unaware of any security issue with downloading a code tarball over http. You've already accepted a much more obvious security issue by downloading and running arbitrary code from a third party (me), and https doesn't help you there.
