+Tag: vcs-field-uses-insecure-uri
+Severity: info
+Check: fields/vcs
+Explanation: The Vcs-* field uses an unencrypted transport protocol for the
+ URI. It is recommended to use a secure transport such as HTTPS for
+ anonymous read-only access.
+ .
+ Note that you can often just exchange e.g. git:// with https:// for
+ repositories. Though, in some cases (bzr's "lp:" or CVS's pserver) it
+ might not be possible to use an alternative url and still have a
+ working (anonymous read-only) repository.
