The same people who'd claim http is a bad look would also tell you to pipe curl to bash with sudo.

That's a weird claim to make; what makes you think that?

Though I suppose https is a prerequisite for that pipe to maybe be safe. Piping curl to bash varies from stupid to just fine depending on context.

Just look around at lots of how-tos, particularly ones that tell you how to generate and set up certificates.
