I don't know Java that well, but I do know Python. In python, some of the
http libraries do not handle https properly. I have been told by others, but
do not know this first hand, that the some is true of at least some Java
libraries. All I know is a did a reboot a couple of months ago, and
everything worked. I changed nothing on my end, and it failed today, on
accessing correctly that remote file.
Once I brought down the latest war, with my catalogs otherwise the same,
things worked. So I don't know enough about Java to say anything definite,
but it sure looks like it was the forced redirect that caused the problem. Wha
I would suggest in the future is:
1. Warn people ahead of time that this will happen.
2. Set up a test site to see if it causes any problems.
3. If the catalog headers should be changed, post that beforehand so people
can make changes.
Just my $0.02 - there are probably other good ways to go about this.
