Is there any chance that you access it through a proxy? If that's the case, see if this proxy doesn't translate the URL into a http one, meaning that even if you start a https request, the server receives a http one.
That picture was pointing to alfresco's servers. I think they use this link in order to compile stats on users using Alfresco (How many users use alfresco daily around the world. What portion of the servers is using https, etc.).
So, that's perfectly your right to remove this line, that's part of how awesome open-source is. But if you could manage to fix the http(s) problem and bring the link back it would be nice to them
