Yes, I think so. When I do enable the http->https redirection in the
apache config, the plugin site + downloading via the browser is all ok.

But QGIS complains:

My theory is that the network code in the plugin manager cannot handle
the redirection. I've had something like that too:
https://github.com/rduivenvoorde/jrodos/blob/master/providers/jrodos_project_provider.py#L27
and
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14809310/qnetworkreply-and-301-redirect
talks about it.

Well, IF we use https as url's both for repo AND in the xml, nobody will
be redirected so there will no problems anymore...

We cannot fix half I think.
