Created attachment 284228 [details] Screenshot Chrome is now blocking us from downloading the Eclipse Installer if the file is served on HTTP: On this page, https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/oomph/epp/2020-09/R/eclipse-inst-jre-mac64.dmg&mirror_id=1270 .. chrome tries to download the Eclipse Installer from this mirror: http://downloads.yoctoproject.org/eclipse-full/oomph/epp/2020-09/R/eclipse-inst-jre-mac64.dmg Based off this article, this change was planed: https://blog.chromium.org/2020/02/protecting-users-from-insecure.html In Chrome 85 (released September 2020): Chrome will warn on mixed content downloads of images, audio, video, and text. Chrome will block all other mixed content downloads. In Chrome 86 (released October 2020) and beyond, Chrome will block all mixed content downloads. My workaround to download the Eclipse Installer was to use Firefox.

:-( I just hit this and can't download anything in Chrome from eclipse mirrors*. My workaround was to download from eclipse.org directly. Can you please turn off http:// mirrors for Chrome 86+ user agents? Or display a message? BTW It looks like the transparent mirroring on download.eclipse.org didn't get in the way when I tried to download as there was no redirect. Have you turned off the transparent mirroring? * I tried a handful of mirrors and then got a "Eclipse downloads - too frequent You have exceeded the amount of times you can call this page."
I would like to see this raised to a critical issue as it looks like to me many (most) users in the coming weeks as they get the Chrome update will not be able to download and the "can't be downloaded securely" message makes it look like eclipse.org is not secure.
I am on this.
http mirrors are gone: https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/technology/epp/downloads/release/2020-09/R/eclipse-java-2020-09-R-linux-gtk-x86_64.tar.gz&format=xml
Thank you Denis for the quick turnaround. I can now download with ease again. Now to convince the mirrors that don't have https to provide them :-) I especially like eclipse.mirror.rafal.ca as it seems to be very close and I can download from it a nearly local network speeds!
I've sent an email to eclipse-mirrors advising of the change. I've also sent an email to Rafal personally, as he doesn't maintain a website (that I know of) - only mirrors.
