Agreed. We'll have to wait for quite a long time before we can disable plain HTTP.

As I understand it, many users of ClamAV just use their distro's
version, which, in the case of LTS distro versions, may be quite behind
the latest ClamAV version. Thus *removing* the ability to download the
DB's via plain HTTP should remain for quite a while, so as not to cut
off ClamAV users who are not as sophisticated as people on this list.
P.S. Although I have always built ClamAV from source (for several
different Linux versions) since I started using it (as far back as
version 0.88.4 at least), I still haven't moved from 0.101.5 to 0.102.x
(the first HTTPS versions), since I have some other things to do first.
