Hi, I've now added the https link, but looks like you are redirecting 
all http traffic to https:

$ curl http://centos.mirrors.benatherton.com/timestamp.txt
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">
<html><head>
<title>301 Moved Permanently</title>
</head><body>
<h1>Moved Permanently</h1>
<p>The document has moved <a 
href="https://centos.mirrors.benatherton.com/timestamp.txt">here</a>.</p>
</body></html>

https://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/CreatePublicMirrors says "If you set up 
HTTPS, please do not redirect HTTP requests to HTTPS. There may be 
organizations that allow outbound HTTP connections but not HTTPS 
connections, and any redirects may cause problems for them."

For this reason https://mirror-status.centos.org/#fr shows red for your 
mirror at the moment, and your mirror won't be served via 
mirrorlist.centos.org. It would be nice if you could remove the 
http->https redirect. Thanks!
