joomla-extensions/install-from-web-client#2

Hi Ivan,

I think it was just a temporary connection issue. Could you try again and report back?

Hi Nick

The issue is still present on our end and it is the exact same issue which I described an year ago - when browsers block the connection because it is considered insecure. The issue is caused by the following code in plugins/installer/webinstaller/webinstaller.php:

19 class PlgInstallerWebinstaller extends JPlugin
20 {
21 public $appsBaseUrl = 'http://appscdn.joomla.org/webapps/'; // will be https once CDN is setup for SSL
22
23 private $_hathor = null;
24 private $_installfrom = null;

As you can see the connection is established via a regular HTTP connection. When you access the site via an encrypted HTTPS connection most browsers block the request to http://appscdn.joomla.org/webapps/ because it is not established via HTTPS. The only change which should be performed is to change the URL to https. There are two pull requests here that are still not merged (I don't know why but SSL connections work as expected):

Hi Daniel,

Yes, it just needs to be merged. See:
joomla-extensions/install-from-web-client#3

I'll follow up with the Install from Web team about it.

Thanks!

@beat any update on this??

@brianteeman The fix got merged a few minutes ago. Thanks @coolbung for the code and testers for the testing. We will deploy it to the CDNs around the world over the next days.

Set to "closed" on behalf of @brianteeman by The JTracker Application at issues.joomla.org/joomla-cms/4878

Still having this issue today 2 weeks on (Joomla! 3.3.6 Stable)

I am also having this problem. I see where you said to set this to closed it was fixed, but was there a work around or is this a new bug??

I am running Joomla! version, 3.3.6

php version 5.3.28

I am still having this issue, Does the issue need to be logged again or can this report be opened again?

I am on Joomla 3.3.6 and am still encountering this issue. I am not sure if @jtfbwilson or @chlowen have received solutions but can you let us know if this has been fixed or if this issue can be re-opened?

thank you

I have not heard anything on this subject and am still having this problem.

Joomla 3.3.6 here...same issue in https.

Same issue as CrystalWind.

@Willard1975 @CrystalWind @jtfbwilson @vmyselfandi @chlowen

I think this will be fixed with the next release of the plugin (as the PR to fix it is allready merged). Maybe @beat or @coolbung can say more about the when and how of the release (maybe together with 3.4.0?)

BTW: the fix is really simple see: https://github.com/joomla-extensions/install-from-web-client/pull/3.diff

Thanks

@zero-24

That worked nicely. Still no visible images but i guess it will be fixed in time.

Thanks.

@zero-24 thank you for that solution. Unfortunately I'm not an advanced Joomla! user so I don't exactly know how to apply the information you supplied to solve the issue at hand. Can you or @Willard1975 explain?

Thanks very much

@vmyselfandi

how to fix it (bevor the new client comes)

• open: https://github.com/joomla-extensions/install-from-web-client/pull/3.diff
• access you webspace e.g. via FTP
• open this file: JRoot/plugins/installer/webinstaller/webinstaller.php
• change the line 27:

public $appsBaseUrl = 'http://appscdn.joomla.org/webapps/';

to

public $appsBaseUrl = 'https://appscdn.joomla.org/webapps/';

But atm the install from web is disabled too so the Install from Web tab don't work and will display a message instead.

I can't believe I never followed up on this. I forgot all about the issue and just gave up. It wasn't until I updated Joomla and it still didn't work that it started bothering me again (over 2 years later!). I again did a Google search but this time came across this thread with the solution from @zero-24. Thank you so much for taking the time to explain that. It works now.

Thank you again.
