I have not been able to connect to any ftp site.... I opened Bug 349679Until this gets sorted out, I suggest that we limit ourselves to http. On 2011-06-17, at 12:21 AM, David M Williams wrote: I'm hoping to get a quick confirmation
that p2 can use either ftp:// or http:// to retrieve artifacts.
And I don't mean "in theory",
but I mean what should "we" use in our mirrorsURL attribute?
Such as
http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/eclipse/updates/3.6/R-3.6.2-201102101200&format=xml
versus
http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/eclipse/updates/3.6/R-3.6.2-201102101200&format=xml&protocol=http
I have a memory of long ago being told
"... doesn't use ftp, so just as well restrict to http mirrors only".
But, I'm wondering ... am I remembering the old updateManager?
I've poked around, and see the platform
does _not_ restrict to http only, and some old forum post that say something
like "p2 uses ECF so its what ever ECF supports so ftp should be ok".
So, before I change the mirrors URL
in our common repository, I wanted some expert advise or confirmation from
this list?
Thank you,
