Description

Today it is recommended to use HTTPS when accessing websites, but Redmine accesses gravatar.com with HTTP if the Redmine instance is accessed with HTTP. This is because Redmine generates protocol-relative URLs for Gravatar images (#21855#note-2).

I think we don't have to switch the protocol to access gravatar.com depending on the protocol of the Redmine instance. It will be secure, and moreover, it may improve performance when there are a lot of icons on a single page because of HTTP/2 used in gravatar.com. With HTTP/2, clients can download images in parallel with a single TCP connection.
