In the future, ViewCVS should be hosted at cvs.savannah.gnu.org, but this host has the HTTPS port taken by SSH for fascist-firewall-circumvention reasons.

Since it will be a different host, your session hash will not be sent clear text if you click on a ViewCVS link.

Thanks for pointing out the issue.

When browsing to a project main site (e.g. https://savannah.gnu.org/projects/emacs/) with an SSL enabled connection, all links turn into https:// links except the "Browse Sources Repository" and "Browse Web Pages Repository". This is not only quite annoying, but also works around privacy. If one adds the  https:// prefix to the URL by hand, everything works fine.

I checked this for the english and german version of the page.
