This is an unexpected issue and earlier WireShare version users will no longer be able to get update notifications due to the https change. The https change was forced upon the WireShare project, not by choice. For example, version 5.6.6 no longer receives any form of notifications including version updates. Also versions 6.0.1 and earlier can no longer access the primary GWebCache (GWC.)
But the https change will have benefits. That includes potentially improved communications through a firewall and other benefits.
