website redirecting to HTTP after selecting binary release

[thesk]

every time I choose download a binary release the website redirects to HTTP with ads, rather than HTTPS. Please fix it asap.

A happy code::blocks user
thank you

What link do you mean?
Where does it redirects? Foss or sourceforge?

https is not needed for everything. It gives a false feeling of protection...

[thesk]

It redirects to "http://www.codeblocks.org/downloads/binaries/" this site but previously it was HTTPS, that is the reason I was in doubt if downloading will be secure or not.

Thank You for your reply.

Yea, this seems like a bug in our website

It's been a year since I posted this, but the bug still persists 😂

Please post the webpage with the bad link if you want it fixed.

You go to https://www.codeblocks.org/downloads/ and klick the first download link -> you get redirected to a not https site where css is brocken: http://www.codeblocks.org/downloads/binaries/

I fail to see the issue.

I can confirm this.

P.S. Don't forget to disable "HTTPS-only mode" in your browser's settings if you don't see this issue.

This should be fixed now.

(I wonder if there are also tickets for it? They would need to be closed...)

[Commaster]

Not yet (with disabled browser cache), possibly serverside is still cached. We'll wait and pray

Huzzah!

@MortenMacFly: you may change your signature to https

Die a few more tweaks, including this. Thanks, I wouldn't have noticed...

Looks like the issues are now related to the Referrer field... https://forums.codeblocks.org/index.php/topic,25278.msg172310/topicseen.html#msg172310

If you follow the link from the download page you get booted:


But if you "type" the whole URL manually you are fine:

The link from https://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php/Main_Page

Edit: bad link is here "Latest official release: 20.03"

Does not have trailing slash in my browser that makes a difference.
