That should be:

  LORE_URL = "https://lore.kernel.org/linux-clk/"

The trailing slash is critical.  The URL format of public-inbox
enforces it to ensure mirroring via `wget --recursive' works.

I'm not sure why lore goes HTTPS => HTTP, though...

lore probably needs to have Plack::Middleware::ReverseProxy
installed and configure the reverse proxy (likely nginx) to set
X-Forwarded-HTTPS:1 or X-Forwarded-Proto:https headers

I can't remember off the top of my head how redirect rules ought
to work for non-GET requests, but avoiding redirects is usually
prudent
