This is a bit annoying for ISPs. It would be nice if there was something
in SNI to help here, but I don't think there is.

We obviously can't distribute the private key for out wildcard *.php.net
cert out to every mirror, but maybe we should consider writing something
that could generate per-mirror certs for mirrors to get around this
problem and have the config either redirect to non-https or to
https://secure.php.net
