Just curious - mirror.centos.org can still provide the content via TLS-only or not? Just imagine working on a fedora workstation building manually via mock and I want to verify a rpm. Should I download the key via http://mirror.centos.org/centos/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-Official ? (I known they exist other ways) If a 3rd party mirror "serves" only over http: then this a different issue. -- Leon
