website redirecting to HTTP after selecting binary release
« on: December 26, 2021, 06:31:59 pm »
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...

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.

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...)

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