A PDF file from a server without HTTPS seems a little dodgy?

Help me out.

Why would you be willing to download a PDF via HTTPS but not HTTP? If PDF's can be dangerous, then they can be dangerous regardless of which server they are downloaded from. Am I missing something?

Does edge not support HTTPS yet? (I'll walk myself out....)

Get it from a different Bitsavers mirror [1] if you are that fussy.

Thank you. Taking collective action against you would’ve been… messy. Enjoy the cornfield.
