Update checking stopped working #695

Closed GnarlyDave closed 1 year ago

GnarlyDave commented 4 years ago

Since the www.middleearthgames.com website went to secure only (https:) there has been a HTTP 301 redirect which browsers silently follow. However, JOverseer isn't expecting the redirect and fails silently, resulting in the update check giving up.

Workaround: Until we can persuade the middleearthgames.com hosting platform to leave things alone, it is necessary to tweak the preferences in JOverseer: menu item Preferences->Updates has two URLs, both starting http: edit them to start https: and the Help->Check For Updates should work as normal.
