Thread: [DOCS] Update postgresql.org http links to https in docs

Since the website is solely serving pages over https now redirecting all http
requests, we should use https to avoid an extra redirect for users.  Attached
patch updates the few http links found in various pieces of documentation in
the tree.

Agreed, done.

I see you did not touch http: references in back-branch release notes,
which is probably fine.

Yes, given that the links do redirect and thus still work it didn’t seem worth
changing there.

I also left the link to the Windows Installer project on on purpose (in
release-8.0.sgml, http://www.postgresql.org/ftp/win32/), since it seems
overkill to update a link which 404’s anyways.
