[llvm-dev] [SERVER UPDATE] Moving clang, clang-analyzer, libcxxabi, libcxx ... websites to new server

[Mike Edwards via llvm-dev]

Hi,
I know this thread is quite old, however, I am about to start working on:
https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=39309 and I couldn't quite tell if
there was any real consensus reached in this thread?  Are folks okay with
me changing the Apache configs to force a redirect to HTTPS for all of the
llvm.org landing pages?  Honestly, just from an administration standpoint
it would be much easier if I could make everything work the same way.  I
understand it will incur some overhead processing costs for some people and
I'm sorry for any inconvenience.  I feel, in this case, the simplicity of
maintaining a single configuration outweighs the the burden of connecting
over HTTPS.  Thoughts?

Thanks,
Mike
