[Bug 16632] Re: popcon should offer an option for submission via https

[Ryan Finnie]

popcon.ubuntu.com now defaults to HTTPS, with default HTTPS for all GET
functions.  However, it appears popcon-upload would require a sizable
rewrite to support HTTPS, as it currently does TCP communication by
hand.  Debian bug #880121 is the upstream bug for this, and looks like
it is actively being discussed if/how to implement this.

  popcon should offer an option for submission via https

Status in popularity-contest package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in popularity-contest package in Debian:
  Unknown

Bug description:
  As I understand, popularity-contest statistics are submitted via http
  connections. What about an option or, even better, an automatic check
  for the availability of gnutls and using https connections instead?
