hyper_chhmmmmm, did the launchpad ppa urls change?04:08
hyper_che.g. I get 404 on https://ppa.launchpad.net/tiheum/equinox/ubuntu04:09
wgranthyper_ch: http, not https06:22
wgranthttps is for private PPAs.06:22
hyper_chwgrant: when did that change?06:29
hyper_chI've had it like this as bookmarks for ages06:29
wgranthyper_ch: Literally never.06:30
hyper_chowait06:30
wgrantYou're not running something like HTTPS Everywhere, are you?06:30
hyper_chI think that's it06:30
hyper_chyeah, that's it... seems they change it now to https06:31
hyper_chbut then, why not use https by default06:31
wgrantHTTP and HTTPS provide different services on ppa.launchpad.net.06:32
hyper_chlike?06:34
wgrantHTTP is for public PPAs, and HTTPS is for private PPAs.06:34
hyper_chbut why not make everything https?06:35
wgrantBecause that's not how things were done initially, and there's very little reason to change that now.06:35
wgrantPPAs are authenticated by OpenPGP signatures, not HTTPS, so HTTPS provides very little benefit to public PPAs.06:35
wgrantAnd it prevents proxies from caching them.06:35
hyper_chlittle benefit?06:36
hyper_chhmmm, I seem to remember that everybody says that it's important to know who connects to whom/what.....06:36
hyper_chso using https would help here06:36
wgrantThat's the sole benefit, yes.06:36
wgrantBut it doesn't prevent attackers from knowing that you connected to ppa.launchpad.net. Just precisely what you downloaded.06:37
hyper_chso that's a good reason06:37
wgrantIt is something that may change in the future.06:37
hyper_chanyway, thx for clearing this up... I guess I need to make an exception to https06:37
cjwatsonLP will be offline for a few seconds shortly for a database schema upgrade.13:45

cjwatsonricotz: No need to ping us on IRC, those of us who can do such things are subscribed to answers.lp.net/launchpad so get them by mail14:54
cjwatsonas it happens that's not one of the things I can do, but I expect William will be around shortly :)14:54
