Description

Currently we download a file from 07th-mod website to check connectivity, but we don't fallback to downloading via http if https fails.

It may be a good idea to try both - if https fails but http succeeds, likely there is some SSL error, and a warning can be shown in the installer, and a summary of probe results can be printed to the log.

Also, probing both github and 07th-mod.com would be a good idea, as both are required to install the mod.

Research direction

Look at the connectivity check code that downloads a file from the 07th-mod website. Modify it to try HTTPS first, then fallback to HTTP if it fails. Also add probes for both github.com and 07th-mod.com. The installer should show a warning if SSL errors are detected and log the probe results. Check related issue #189 for context.
