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

I use a lot of other distributions as well, and debian, ubuntu, all 
offer HTTP for their mirrors.

This way an update is directly used, I used to download the vmlinux if 
it gets out of date it gives weird errors when loading the kernels 
further in the process.

Thank you in advance for making the mirror.stream.centos.org work with 
HTTP again and letting users choose between HTTP and HTTPS.

Kind regards,
