Jenkins does not load plugins on EC2, https

I've just installed Jenkins on an EC2 machine. Jenkins is served via Apache with SSL on port 443. I haven't bought a certificate yet, so the https connection is insecure.

<VirtualHost *:443>
    ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
    ServerName my_host_name
    ServerAlias ci

        SSLEngine on
        SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/ssl/apache.crt
        SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/apache2/ssl/apache.key

    ProxyRequests Off
    ProxyPreserveHost off
    ProxyPass    / http://localhost:8080/
    ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:8080/
    <Proxy http://localhost:8080/*>
        Order deny,allow
        Allow from all
    </Proxy>
</VirtualHost>

Jenkins refused to update my plugins. I've checked the URL at Manage Jenkins → Manage Plugins → advanced, and it was http://updates.jenkins-ci.org/update-center.json. I've tried downloading the file from curl at the server and it was downloaded without problems.

Why can't Jenkins download the json file for the updates?

This was fixed by using the secure coutnerpart for the url

https://updates.jenkins-ci.org/update-center.json

Instead of:

http://updates.jenkins-ci.org/update-center.json
