WebWorldWind javascript online domain URL is expired and cannot access

[bangph]

Hello,

When you visit http://worldwindserver.net/webworldwind/worldwind.min.js it will return

http://domain-registrar.storage.googleapis.com/expired.html?worldwindserver.net

and error `

AccessDenied Access denied.

` Can this one be fixed urgently as client using this library link is broken?

Thanks,

@bangph You can get the current compiled library at https://files.worldwind.arc.nasa.gov/artifactory/web/0.9.0/worldwind.min.js Of course, this will require a change in the client to use the new URL.

Example:

<script src="https://files.worldwind.arc.nasa.gov/artifactory/web/0.9.0/worldwind.min.js"
        type="text/javascript">
</script>```

@emxsys yes, I know I can update 1 link but it means all existing clients using WebWorldWind needs to update as well. Do you think it is good?

@bangph Are/were you able to change the URL in your client? Has the urgency been mitigated?

Unfortunately, the worldwindserver.net domain is/was being paid for out-of-pocket by one of the developers. Thus the shift to a NASA domain to ensure WorldWind's posterity.

Note, the https://files.worldwind.arc.nasa.gov/artifactory/web/0.9.0/worldwind.min.js is a more current version than the old URL. Another alternative is to host a copy of worldwind.min.js or the source on your own server to avoid the issue of changing URLs. Of course, there are pros and cons to any approach.

If there is an urgent use case, worldwindserver,net could be resurrected by said developer (but still an out-of-pocket expense).

@bangph et al. The worldwindserver.net domain has been renewed for another year. It's end-of-life will be March 2, 2020. Thanks for bringing this to our attention.
