+1.

Design note to HTTPS implementations:

Figure out how to update an HTTPS client under a forced (redirected) 
HTTPS condition/environment where the client is failing because of 
deprecated, obsolete and now even removed SSL/TLS support options.  In 
other words, it can't update itself because of the new HTTPS forced 
conditions.  Example, Google Chrome.  It could not update because the 
HTTPS URL was failing due the browser seeing an erroneous "Invalid 
Certificate" display with no option to accept, temporary or otherwise. 
  You have to download via another browser that isn't so strict, yet.

I guess that would go under a "chicken and egg" problem.
