Remove / Cleaned up the project we page.

There are still HTTP references coming from included templates.
For these I opened a bug report at Savannah administration, see https://savannah.gnu.org/task/index.php?14630

Thanks for reporting :-)

Thanks, just looking at it... we (project maintainers) can only change a certain part of the web page (I am at it).

And it means we have to replace wget.addictivecode.org, since it offers no HTTPS and no one here has write access to it. But hey, that is what Wget has been made for ;-)

The GNU wget page contains lots of links that are HTTP. Many of them are available over HTTPS and should be changed. Some of them come from the GNU template itself, but many are also wget specific.

Particularly the download links should default to a secure download location, right now only HTTP and FTP are offered.

The MoarTLS browser extension is a useful way of identifying insecure links.

Output:

18 of 46 links are non-secure.
