Is-it possible to reference on https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archivemirrors hosting Ubuntu mirror in http secure (https in addition of http and rsync)
Would it be possible to remove ftp, which is an obsolete protocol, and to add the possibility to the mirrors that wish to propose https in addition to http? Note that Debian will no longer offer FTP from 1 November 2017: https://www.debian.org/News/2017/20170425.en.html the FTP protocol is inefficient and requires adding awkward kludges to firewalls and load- balancing daemons. Another argument to switch to https mirrors: With some Wi-Fi networks, hash checksums are systematically false. Using https can not be impacted by software that modifies the contneu of http connections. French screenshot of a download failed in http (ok after switching to https, https://fr.archive.ubuntu.com/ is available in https) ** Attachment added: "apt-upgrade with bad Wi-Fi" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1464064/+attachment/5217943/+files/201811_ubuntu_deports_https_1.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1464064 Title: Ubuntu apt repos are not available via HTTPS To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1464064/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
