<p><!-- golang.org/issue/37519 -->
  The <code>go</code> <code>get</code> <code>-insecure</code> flag is
  deprecated and has been removed. To permit the use of insecure schemes
  when fetching dependencies, please use the <code>GOINSECURE</code>
  environment variable. The <code>-insecure</code> flag also bypassed module
  sum validation, use <code>GOPRIVATE</code> or <code>GONOSUMDB</code> if
  you need that functionality. See <code>go</code> <code>help</code>
  <code>environment</code> for details.
