Update site URL does not work #78

Open twwwt opened 3 years ago

twwwt commented 3 years ago

When using https://fabioz.github.com/startexplorer/update/ I get a HTTP 404 error. If this is the current update site URL, please make it work again. If not, please update all references, especially those in the Eclipse market place.

You get 404 when opening with browser, as browser is looking for index.html

Open with Eclipse Help -> Update side

You get a 404 because Github changed some hosting rules and remove the legacy redirection since 2021-04-15 :

Subdomains of github.com are deprecated for GitHub Pages. They will not redirect to github.io after April 15, 2021.

There is already an issue (since 2016) for that : #71

https://fabioz.github.com/startexplorer/update/ => KO in browser and in eclipse Update Sites and in market place :
https://fabioz.github.io/startexplorer/update/ => OK in browser and in Eclipse Update Sites :

I was tired always searching for the correct update site URL so I forked the project: https://jpstotz.github.io/startexplorer/

BTW: The correct update site URL of this project is https://fabioz.github.io/startexplorer/update/ all the other links mentioned in this issue are not working anymore.
