Uh, what? This does not *exactly* meet POLA, and that part of the change was not announced as such - and as it's quite likely that this breaks someone's syncupdate script (why would a syncupdate client be written to handle http->https redirects if all it wants is a single POST?) this really should have been announced before. ... and I'm less than convinced that wanting to have HTTPS *for RIPE ACCESS* is a good reason to force it by surprise on everyone else.
