https://cygwin.com/ now live

[Christopher Faylor]

Red Hat (thanks fo Frank Eigler) has activated some certificates for cygwin.com
so everyone should be able to access the site via https://cygwin.com now.

There will probably be some gotchas to work out for places which refer to
http://cygwin.com/ directly.  Please send any issues here, as always.

It appears it is not forcing HTTPS through a 301 redirect, is this intentional?

    $ wget --spider cygwin.com
    Spider mode enabled. Check if remote file exists.
    --2014-05-16 17:04:43--  http://cygwin.com/
    Resolving cygwin.com (cygwin.com)... 209.132.180.131
    Connecting to cygwin.com (cygwin.com)|209.132.180.131|:80... connected.
    HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 200 OK

Example of the 301

    $ wget --spider github.com
    Spider mode enabled. Check if remote file exists.
    --2014-05-16 17:04:36--  http://github.com/
    Resolving github.com (github.com)... 192.30.252.130

I didn't say "http is no longer available" so, yes, it is intentional.
