Bug#997077: packages.debian.org: can't download archives due to Mixed Content

[Daniele Forsi <dforsi@gmail.com>]

Package: www.debian.org
Severity: normal

Dear maintainer,

trying to download .deb files or .tar.gz files from p.d.o. with Chromium Versione 93.0.4577.82 silently fails.

For example, go to https://packages.debian.org/sid/amd64/gnokii/download and click to a dowlaod link,
the download doesn't start, but the  browser's console shows this message:
Mixed Content: The site at 'https://packages.debian.org/' was loaded over a secure connection, but
the file at 'http://ftp.it.debian.org/debian/pool/main/g/gnokii/gnokii_0.6.30+dfsg-1.3_all.deb'
was loaded over an insecure connection. This file should be served over HTTPS. This download has
been blocked. See https://blog.chromium.org/2020/02/protecting-users-from-insecure.html for more details.

thanks,
Daniele
