Test the course with Stata 10 or 11

The course has not been tested with Stata 10 or 11 for a while, and keeping backward compatibility is important.

Update, 3 years later: anything Web-based in the course (i.e. srqm_copy or many of the data preparation scripts) are now failing due to HTTPS generalization, incl. on my own website.

Options by order of difficulty:

  1. Support only HTTPS (like others), and effectively drop Stata 11/12 support
  2. Tweak at least my own website's .htaccess
  3. Add code to try using wget or curl (as suggested here)

Option 1 makes most sense: this course is only hosted on HTTPS-only GitHub anyway.

Update: my own website now delivers Stata files over HTTP (Option 2), so the course material will partly work with Stata 12. More tests to come, but long-term plan is to support Stata 13, 14 and 15 only (Option 1): see #12. Abandoning Option 3.
