Uwe Schindler commented on LUCENE-8807:
---------------------------------------
FYI, the maven.restlet.org stuff annoyed me a lot: They changed from
restlet.org to restlet.com. But the HTTPS one at https://maven.restlet.org
redirected to the insecure http://maven.restlet.com which is a disallowed
action and Ivy disallows this (of course). This took me half an hour to
understand the issue. Somebody should tell those - that's incredible!
> Change all download URLs in build files to HTTPS

> At least for Lucene this is not a security issue, because we have checksums
> for all downloaded JAR dependencies, but ASF asked all projects to ensure
> that download URLs for dependencies are using HTTPS:
> {quote}
> [...] Projects like Lucene do checksum whitelists of
> all their build dependencies, and you may wish to consider that as a
> protection against threats beyond just MITM [...]
> {quote}
> This patch fixes the URLs for most files referenced in {{*build.xml}} and
> {{*ivy*.xml}} to HTTPS. There are a few data files in benchmark which use
> HTTP only, but that's uncritical and I added a TODO. Some were broken already.
> I removed the "uk.maven.org" workarounds for Maven, as this does not work
> with HTTPS. By keeping those inside, we break the whole chain of trust, as
> any non-working HTTPS would fallback to the insecure uk.maven.org Maven
> mirror.
> As the great chinese firewall is changing all the time, we should just wait
> for somebody complaining.
