It should be possible to provide HTTPS mirrors and allow redirection only to mirrors
via HTTPS when mirror brain is accessed by HTTPS.

I guess this is the same issue as #131.

As some downstream mirror may provide only http while others provide http and https
it may be a good idea to introduce a new column baseurl_https in the server table
to specify that information. For the selection two scenarios may be interesting:

1. Let the client select by a flag or special header that it only wants https
2. A configuration directive for mod_mirrorbrain to either forward https only
   to https or be less strict and allow forwards to http in some cases (like
   when no other mirror is available)

Maybe we can make a hangout and discuss possible usecases?
