Hi

Checking one of my builds, I find 12 repos in the *.target file all specified as http: e.g.

  <location includeAllPlatforms="false" includeConfigurePhase="false" includeMode="planner" includeSource="true" type="InstallableUnit">
    <unit id="org.eclipse.sdk.feature.group" version="0.0.0"/>
    <repository location="http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/I-builds"/>
  </location>

Checking my Tycho log, I find e.g.

[INFO] Fetching p2.index 
fromhttp://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/I-builds/
[INFO] Fetching p2.index 
fromhttp://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/I-builds/

[INFO] Adding repositoryhttp://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/I-builds
[INFO] Fetching p2.index 
fromhttps://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/4.12-I-builds/
[INFO] Fetching p2.index 
fromhttps://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/4.12-I-builds/

indicating that the platform is redirecting http: to https:

Is there an EF recommendation as to whether https: (more secure) or http: (less overhead) should be used?

From my point of view not using SSL nowadays is a bug.

One should use SSL / HTTPs everywhere these days.

Thanks for that.

Is it in general not better to serve this content through HTTP to avoid SSL overhead and encryption of large files? I have no clue what this means in terms of speed but since these repos are extremly popular it might be significant.
