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?
