OXPs in HTTPS addresses

Post by another_commander »

Heads up guys. We have just deployed some changes to the repository, which will be applied to tomorrow's nightly build, aiming to resolve the problem of not being able to donwload OXPs via the Expansion Pack Manager when said OXPs were residing on https addresses (e.g. Stashes.oxz).

For those who are willing to test, all you need to do is go to the Expansion Pack Manager and attempt to download Stashes.oxp (I bet popsch will feel puzzled how his oxp suddenly starts getting so many hits). If download is successful, we are good. If not, please provide information about the OS, system and network setup, if possible. Try to make sure that no funny firewalls or proxies get in the way. This would be very likely in case of an attempt to download via a company network.

Thanks for your help in testing and hope to have some good results. It has been quite painful getting this one up and running.

If I use git and build from source, will I be able to test this issue now?

Yes, I believe so. The import library for gnustep-base used during the linking phase of the game's executable has changed, but I think that the old one should still be able to link. If this is not the case, please advise and I will upload the new import library for 32 and 64 bit.

Edit: Or you can just grab the new gnustep-base dll (64-bit or 32-bit) and try to test.

Well, I can confirm that it's working for me. Win10 Pro, 64bit, Home network (broadband ADSL2+), accessed wirelessly.

Yep, it's working for me too! Win7 Pro 64-bit, home network, hardwired.
