Official Puppy site download link blocked by Chrome (Solved)

The download links from https://puppylinux.com/index.html#download doesn't work for fossa, bionic, tahr etc (works for raspbian, slacko 7).

Chrome 95 error (showed in console):
index.html#download:1 Mixed Content: The site at 'https://puppylinux.com/' was loaded over a secure connection, but the file at 'http://ftp.nluug.nl/ftp/pub/os/Linux/di ... 64-9.5.iso' was loaded over an insecure connection. This file should be served over HTTPS. This download has been blocked. See https://blog.chromium.org/2020/02/prote ... ecure.html for more details.

It could easily be bypassed, but for a newcomer is quite off-putting.

we'll need @01micko to go in and adjust the url's from http to https. Simply modifying the URL of the to be downloaded ISO file will fix it (I hope).

We'll see, I guess. Google have been assiduously pushing "https-ONLY" for at least a couple of years now. Stands to reason, with a policy like that, an old-fashioned "http" was almost bound to raise a few red flags, y'know?
