            Bug ID: 377788
           Summary: KDEWin installer does not work with https sites
           Product: kde-windows
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
                OS: MS Windows
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: installer
          Assignee: kde-windows at kde.org
          Reporter: ralf.habacker at freenet.de
  Target Milestone: ---

Because download.kde.org recently changed access over http protocol
(https://cgit.kde.org/websites/download-kde-org.git/commit/?id=98f485a01295b6f095166747043dc23f7b0b7517)
by redirecting to https the installer now fails to read mirror lists and
releases.

How to reproduce:
1. Download installer from
https://download.kde.org/stable/kdewin/installer/kdewin-installer-gui-latest.exe
2. run installer

What happens:
The installer shows a message box that is could not fetch the mirror list

What is expected:
The installer should be able to fetch the mirror list


Additional information:
The installer uses libcurl to fetch files over http or ftp and it looks that it
does not support https. It is required to build libcurl with https support or
to use QNetworkAccessManager which requires to be build also with https
support.
