I prefer it not forcing either, and only force secure connection, when absolutely
necessary. I.e. when downloading the setup binary.

Secure connections been painfully slow and just annoying, when all you need is
a quick glance at the documentation.
All internal links must be relative to the domain and not force either
protocol or the domain name.
