[Bug 1927807] Re: "https" address causes zsync download to fail with error 'could not read control file from URL'
there should be an warning message in the zsync program if you attempt to use https, since it appears to not be supported in all cases. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1927807 Title: "https" address causes zsync download to fail with error 'could not read control file from URL' To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-cdimage/+bug/1927807/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I've been wondering if it's worth making a small patch to zsync so it at least rejects HTTPS with a clear error message? (I was confused by this for a while..)

[Bug 1927807] Re: "https" address causes zsync download to fail with error 'could not read control file from URL'
@vorlon, while it may not be an *error* on infrastructure side, the infrastructure team *can* provide solution i.e., by changing the link address of zsync files from 'https' to 'http'. If we check the linked debian bug report, they are not interested in implementing 'https' feature in zsync for 'overload' concerns. If infrastructure team passes the issue to package, it will be open forever. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1927807 Title: "https" address causes zsync download to fail with error 'could not read control file from URL' To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/zsync/+bug/1927807/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
