Computer security takes time and effort, and it's wasted on static data
that has no real value.  Do you really need to hide the fact that you're

The gEDA server is a very old arm-based device running a prototype
operating system.  HTTPS is not an option at this point, unless someone
(or many someones) steps up to migrate everything to a modern server.
