Miller, this might leave many (using the latest chrome web browser) scratching their heads:

if I follow instructions to get the latest Pd from https://msp.ucsd.edu/software.htm when i click to download any of the files nothing happens and no files get downloaded. If I start a console I see:

``` software.htm:1 Mixed Content: The site at 'https://msp.ucsd.edu/' was loaded over a secure connection, but the file at 'https://msp.ucsd.edu/Software/pd-0.54-1test1.windows-installer.exe' was redirected through an insecure connection. This file should be served over HTTPS. See https://blog.chromium.org/2020/02/protecting-users-from-insecure.html for more details. ```

i think the problematic redirection happens in the links in file `software.htm` :

<a href="http://msp.ucsd.edu/$$$">

where 'http' is used.

may be the safer way to allow links to work on both types of connections (http and https) is to give relative URLs (stripping 'http://msp.ucsd.edu')

<a href="./$$$">

there might be other ways.

if i use the non-secure site all files can be downloaded normally.
