Sorry about that. When I noticed that dl.fp.o and download-ibo1.fp.o
worked with https, I changed all the download links in the test matrix
templates and started using it for everything. The TC7 and TC8 zsyncs
were both made with https. They should be fixed now. I did find an old
bug report googling for "zsync https":

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=459706

Personally, I think it should be supported since the https overhead is
not huge and it's a good thing generally for people to be using https (I
have mozilla-https-everywhere installed). And according to

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/149274/http-vs-https-performance

"Bottom line: making lots of short requests over HTTPS will be quite a
bit slower than HTTP, but if you transfer a lot of data in a single
request, the difference will be insignificant."

which is certainly the case for large ISO files.

P.S. This reply is not threaded since your post didn't show up in Gmane.
It's probably just slow, seems to take days sometimes to update.
