Description Jacob Appelbaum 2012-08-24 21:03:55 UTC 
It would be nice if GTK+ packages were available over HTTPS (SSL/TLS). Users currently have no way to verify the downloaded packages are not backdoored by the network; at least with HTTPS, it would require a more talented attacker with a CA.

Not really sure where this belongs on Bugzilla (if anywhere), but it shouldn't be tagged as a Win32 bug.

I think

https://download.gnome.org/sources/gtk+/

is good enough ?
