Why is there so many packages using TLS/SSL then? Unless we provide a

Ask github, launchpad, and friends. :\

HTTP access to (github.com|launchpad.net) will always redirect to https,
and access to download link will be redirected to other host,
It is still HTTPS, but also accessible with HTTP.
i.e. you can download from (github, launchpad) with HTTP.

Other topics related this issue is COOKIE support.
You can play dance with tigris.org :)
