Enforce HTTPS for all downloads to eliminate security vulnerabilities

- Convert 16 HTTP URLs to HTTPS across 3 critical scripts
- Dell OMSA script: Ubuntu archive and Dell repository URLs now use HTTPS
- Proxmox legacy script: Download URLs converted to secure connections
- SSL stack script: Apache source URLs updated to official archive
- Update documentation to reflect resolved security issues
- Mark HTTPS enforcement as completed in todo lists

This addresses the second critical security concern from the security review,
eliminating man-in-the-middle attack vectors during package downloads.

 ## 🚨 HIGH PRIORITY (Security Critical)
 
-### 1. Replace Insecure Deployment Method
-**Current Issue:** `curl https://dl.knownelement.com/KNEL/FetchApply/SetupNewSystem.sh | bash`
-**Action Required:**
-- Create signed packages (`.deb`/`.rpm`) for distribution
-- Implement GPG signature verification for scripts
-- Consider using configuration management tools (Ansible, Puppet, Salt)
-- Add cryptographic checksums for all downloadable components
+### ✅ 1. Replace Insecure Deployment Method - RESOLVED
+**Previous Issue:** `curl https://dl.knownelement.com/KNEL/FetchApply/SetupNewSystem.sh | bash`
+**Status:** Fixed in README.md - now uses secure git clone approach
+**Current Method:** `git clone this repo` → `cd FetchApply/ProjectCode` → `bash SetupNewSystem.sh`
 
-**Files to modify:**
-- `README.md` (line 19) - update deployment instructions
-- `ProjectCode/SetupNewSystem.sh` - add integrity checks
+**Remaining considerations:**
+- Consider implementing GPG signature verification for tagged releases
+- Add cryptographic checksums for external downloads within scripts
 
-### 2. Enforce HTTPS for All Downloads
-**Current Issue:** HTTP URLs in Dell OMSA and some repository setups
-**Action Required:**
-- Replace HTTP URLs with HTTPS equivalents in:
-  - `ProjectCode/Dell/Server/omsa.sh` (lines 19-28)
-  - `ProjectCode/legacy/prox7.sh` (line 3)
-- Verify SSL certificate validation is enabled
-- Add fallback mechanisms for certificate failures
+### ✅ 2. Enforce HTTPS for All Downloads - RESOLVED
+**Previous Issue:** HTTP URLs in Dell OMSA and some repository setups
+**Status:** All HTTP URLs converted to HTTPS across:
+  - `ProjectCode/Dell/Server/omsa.sh` - Ubuntu archive and Dell repo URLs
+  - `ProjectCode/legacy/prox7.sh` - Proxmox download URLs
+  - `ProjectCode/Modules/RandD/sslStackFromSource.sh` - Apache source URLs
+
+**Remaining considerations:**
+- SSL certificate validation is enabled by default in wget/curl
+- Consider adding retry logic for certificate failures
 
 ### 3. Implement Secrets Management
 **Current Issue:** SSH keys committed to repository, no secrets rotation
