I prefer it not forcing either, and only force secure connection, when absolutely necessary.

All internal links must be relative to the domain and not force either protocol or the domain name. -- With best regards, Andrey Repin Monday, April 25, 2016 08:45:10 Sorry for my terrible english... -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
