It's been years since I read gnu-prog-discuss, but you're welcome to raise the 
topic there. To me it's a no-brainer. Code injection attacks are easy with HTTP 
and can cause serious damage, and code is the lifeblood of the free-software 
movement. Nowadays it is almost irresponsible to encourage the use of HTTP to 
distribute code.
