I'm hoping to get a quick confirmation that p2 can use either ftp:// or http:// to retrieve artifacts.
And I don't mean "in theory", but I mean what should "we" use in our mirrorsURL attribute? Such as http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/eclipse/updates/3.6/R-3.6.2-201102101200&format=xml versus http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/eclipse/updates/3.6/R-3.6.2-201102101200&format=xml&protocol=http I have a memory of long ago being told "... doesn't use ftp, so just as well restrict to http mirrors only". But, I'm wondering ... am I remembering the old updateManager? I've poked around, and see the platform does _not_ restrict to http only, and some old forum post that say something like "p2 uses ECF so its what ever ECF supports so ftp should be ok". So, before I change the mirrors URL in our common repository, I wanted some expert advise or confirmation from this list? Thank you,
