Philipp Ottlinger commented on RAT-212:
---------------------------------------
Thanks for your report - since RAT scans for license snippets you may use the
following workaround:
* keep https in your pom url-structure
* add a valid license header to your pom.xml such as:
{code}
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0";
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";
xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0
http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd";>

{code}
This solves the issue.
I was not aware that we perform a scan of the pom's structure. I always thought
we parse for a license snippet instead ....
> pom.xml license failure when url is https

> Key: RAT-212
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RAT-212
> Project: Apache Rat
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 0.11
> Reporter: Christopher Tubbs
>
> apache-rat-plugin:check fails when the license information in the POM has a
> url of "https://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0";, but not when it has a
> url of "http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0";
> It should probably not fail in the case of https.
