Impossible to update any plugin because wp cli uses http instead

    ubuntu 22.04
    wp 6.0.1
    WP-CLI: 2.6.0
    curl 7.81.0-1ubuntu1.3
    php 8.1.7

    Updating any plugin with the cli tool or from the browser throws the same error. For instance:

    wp-content/plugins $ wp plugin update header-footer-elementor
Enabling Maintenance mode...
Downloading update from http://downloads.wp.xz.cn/plugin/header-footer-elementor.1.6.12.zip...
Warning: Download failed. "cURL error 77: "

Error: No plugins updated.

wp-content/plugins $ wp plugin update essential-addons-for-elementor-lite

Error: No plugins updated.<code></code>

<strong>It is linked to the fact that the wp cli uses the http url, instead of https</strong>:

    curl http://downloads.wp.xz.cn/plugin/header-footer-elementor.1.6.12.zip
    <html>
    <head><title>301 Moved Permanently</title></head>
    <body>
    <center><h1>301 Moved Permanently</h1></center>
    <hr><center>nginx</center>
    </body>
    </html>`

    However, if I try to download the plugin manually using the https url, it works:
    curl https://downloads.wp.xz.cn/plugin/header-footer-elementor.1.6.12.zip –output header-footer-elementor.1.6.12.zip
