Describe the request
I stumbled (in a restrictive network environment) upon the fact that arduino:dfu-util package seems to reference files using non-HTTPS links.
Ideally any URLs would be tried HTTPS first (or in the case of Arduino's packages, they could just use HTTPS). TLS stacks tend to be more resilient than anything inside it, so there'd be a clear security benefit.
Describe the current behavior
Files such as
http://downloads.arduino.cc/tools/dfu-util-0.11-arduino5-darwin_amd64.tar.gz
are currently being referenced by some Arduino packages andarduino-cli
