Title: website redirecting to HTTP after selecting binary release
Post by: thesk 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.

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 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  :)

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 (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.

Works
Code
https://www.codeblocks.org/downloads/binaries/
https://www.codeblocks.org/downloads/binaries/ (https://www.codeblocks.org/downloads/binaries/)

Fails
Code
https://www.codeblocks.org/downloads/binaries
https://www.codeblocks.org/downloads/binaries (https://www.codeblocks.org/downloads/binaries)
