As others have stated before, one can update the links to https by editing the XML files. If you're on Linux and have MySQL/MariaDB installed, there is a replace utility which you can use to update all XML files with a single command.

After stopping the BOINC service, in the data directory run:
boinc> replace "ttp://boinc.bakerlab" "ttps://boinc.bakerlab" -- *.xml
account_boinc.bakerlab.org_rosetta.xml converted
all_projects_list.xml converted
client_state.xml converted
client_state_prev.xml converted
get_project_config.xml converted
global_prefs.xml converted
master_boinc.bakerlab.org_rosetta.xml converted
sched_request_boinc.bakerlab.org_rosetta.xml converted
statistics_boinc.bakerlab.org_rosetta.xml converted

Restart the service, and it should be running as before.

(Edit note: The command works with "http"/"https" as well, but the forum software here converts both to "https". Interesting.)
