Hi Karsten

Ouch! I didn't follow all of https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=544852 but using http: seems pretty irresponsible.

I've raised https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=546207 requesting the *.target support to give a warning for http:

Hi Ed,

I’m not sure if there is a general guideline, but we were addressed such an issue in project Xtext and make sure that we do not use anything in the build that is pulled through HTTP and fix the remaining places when we find some.

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.
