I fully agree. Making https mandatory for updates is a change in the public interface to the DB and it should have been announced.

Denis: can you gather some stats on how many POSTs are sent over http, get a redirect, and then don't retry over https? It would give a rough estimate of how many scripts can't handle the redirect.

Cheers,
