Hi Marcel, hi all,

phew, this turned out to be a bit more complicated than I had assumed.

The attached script should patch every in the image required to upgrade the update URLs to HTTPS. Eventually, I would like to ship it via a postscript in a regular trunk version.

Still, the server code must be updated, because unfortunately, it returns URLs with hard-coded HTTP, even if the request is made via HTTPS:

(

name 'update-eem.477'

repository ('http://source.squeak.org/trunk')

dependency ('Squeak-Version' 'Squeak-Version-mt.5252' 'b9a3cd5b-b708-8646-a99f-5f3ae294ceb1')

...

I don't have access to the server code, but apparently the protocol should be checked there. And isn't it a general convention to favor relative over absolute URLs? Why doesn't the server simply return '/trunk' here?

Best,

Christoph

I suppose it is because the update map has "http" in it for each package version. And maybe also because your repositories in Monticello are configured as "http". So, the mechanism does not find any previous versions?

Seems like bug to me.

Hi all,

I spent a number of attempts during the latest months on changing my image's update URL to use HTTPS, but unfortunately, it gets reset each time.

Shouldn't I be able to simply change the update URL in the preferences by adding a small "s" behind the "http"? But if I do so, when I press the update button the next time, Squeak starts loading all packages from their initial version (Tools-xyz.1, Morphic-xyz.1, ...). Is there a way to easily change the URL?

Best,

Christoph
