It won't hide the fact that a connection was established. Also,

This sounds like you'r
Hi,
while I invested some time in the past updating thirdpartymirrors to add
HTTPS where possible too, I see no point in dropping non-HTTPS mirrors:
Just make sure that HTTPS mirrors are listed first.
From security point of view, we don't get anything from HTTPS because we
maintain and validate

You mean using HTTPS-only mirrors in 3rdparty mirrors? I am on board
with that.
Ideally, we would switch all of Gentoo resources to HTTPS too. I had a
short discussion about it in #-infra where I was looking for distfiles
and stage3 snapshots
Hi,
Historically, the majority of our 'thirdpartymirrors' use HTTP or FTP.
I've been putting some effort into switching to HTTPS whenever possible
(i.e. when the server's running HTTPS and has a valid certificate).
However, the way things work people still have a pretty good chance of
hitting HT
