CentOS - Mar 2023 - wget http://mirror.stream.centos.org/9-stream/BaseOS/x86_64/os/images/pxeboot/vmlinuz --max-redirect=0 --no-hsts

Hello everybody,

I am using pxelinux to install centos stream 9 systems but this stopped 
working a while ago with mirror.stream.centos.org because it started 
forcing HTTPS and pxelinux is HTTP only.

Could we please make the mirror.stream.centos.org HTTP available again 
please?

$ wget 
http://mirror.stream.centos.org/9-stream/BaseOS/x86_64/os/images/pxeboot/vmlinuz
  --max-redirect=0 --no-hsts

I believe the recommended configuration is to have vmlinuz and 
initrd.img on the same tftp server you use for the PXE boot loader.
