Are you suggesting it should use https rather than http? whilst it could is there any particular benefit / performance hit from doing this? Is there anything in the tracker ping that needs https?

There's just no reason for it not to be https

Having spoken to Paul at IRUS, he suggests that there are components in the tracker message which could potentially be considered 'personal' within Europe, so using https would be advisable.

insecure HTTP is deprecated, and one day browsers will stop supporting it at all:

Is this connected to the previous comment on use of SSL or a separate suggestion that the example URI is outdated / broken?

This server supports TLS but to get it working requires some client configuration because it's a self signed, expired, wrong domain certificate. So either add the docs I suggested above or remove the line completely until they can get a valid certificate. They could get a free one from let's encrypt.

Removed the commented line, referring to Cranfield, as no-longer required

tracker no longer needs to go via mimas, but should go straight to jusp.jisc.ac.uk/counter/
