 Thanks -- I didn't know the mirrors# subdomains were still available.  The
 new ruleset adds an exception for âmirrors#.kernel.orgâ.

 I ran DNS lookups for mirrors[12].(us|eu).kernel.org and got NXDOMAIN
 errors for all of them, so I didn't add an exception for mirrors
 subdomains with numbers ''and'' country codes.  I think another âdoesn't
 workâ bug report is less dangerous than silently allowing non-SSL access
 to a site that shouldn't exist.

 > I don't know if there are others non working domains!!!!! but no mirrors
 work!!!!!! this is not expected!!!!

 As I wrote in the ticket, kernel.org is now advertising HTTPS support on
 all subdomains ''except'' mirrors.kernel.org.  The lack of HTTPS support
 for mirrors# isn't unexpected, but a ruleset that tries to use HTTPS for
 those domains is still buggy.
