Description:If we include the OPUS codec as part of an installation, it is sourced as follows:
codec_opus: Downloading http://downloads.digium.com/pub/telephony/codec_opus/asterisk-19.0/x86-64/codec_opus-19.0_1.3.0-x86_64.tar.gz to /tmp/tmp.MzytcugTdk/codec_opus-19.0_1.3.0-x86_64.tar.gz

As there is a valid SSL certificate for downloads.digium.com, should this not use https instead?

I can see references to other http URLs in the source, so this may apply to other components.

This was only noticed as a problem where this installation was at a site that does not allow access to public http sites. Manually changing the "remote_url" value in build_tools/download_externals resolved the problem.
