When a user sets a value for esg.dist.url in esgf.properties, the installer checks the value against a set of valid mirrors. But the set of valid mirrors only include urls with the http protocol and not https. For example, http://aims1.llnl.gov/esgf/dist is valid but https://aims1.llnl.gov/esgf/dist is not.
