[Dx4win] Check For Updates Won't Run

[R.T.Liddy]

Can we XP folks get a path to it that is "non-https" witha caveat that there may be security issues? I would certainlytake whatever risk there might be rather than have my worldturned upside down as described in my earlier sob-story.-- Bob  K8BL

That's it. Either the March 12th website certificate update caused this, or
whomever is running the dx4win.com website enabled automatic redirection
from http to https.
To support Windows XP, that redirect will need to be turned off.
Unfortunately, this has a security impact for everyone not running Windows
XP.
