closes hashtopolis/server#819. The reason this error occurs, is that a HEAD request does not follow a redirect by default. So when someone migrates to https, where a redirect is setup to redirect requests to port 443, the head request for binaries on the server will not work because the head request will not be redirected resulting in a failing download.
