I tried both https and http url.

Answer 1

The warning is about security, it is good for you to always care about security warnings and understand them.

As I see it, many developers do not care on creating the signature (or may be it is too troubling?), anyway, for open-source plugins I think it is ok to ignore the warning, as long it is a popular (or at least old enough) plugin. In a sense that, other users may have already poked around the code or reported about security problems related to it.

More about it here.

Answer 2

This warning is just telling you it is not signed, you cant resolve it. Just click OK and continue on.
