Hello,

From time to time, InCommon Participants ask if Ops can provide a
TLS-protected (HTTPS) channel for downloading InCommon metadata. The
answer has always been 'no'. This seems counterintuitive, so I've
written a blog post about why we take this position.

You can read more about this at:
https://www.internet2.edu/blogs/detail/14522

Please let me know if you have any questions/etc.

Best Regards,

Nick Roy
Director of Technology and Strategy, InCommon
