Check for updates is failing #351

pfmoore · 2015-10-07T11:25:46Z

When I try to check for updates, I get an error:

"ConEmu is unable to load current information from servers. You may either check and download new versions manually from http://www.fosshub.com/ConEmu.html or let ConEmu retry the check.

Version update information is broken (not found) [ConEmu_Devel_2] "version"

URL: http://conemu.github.io/version.ini
File: C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Local\Temp\ConEmu\ConEmuVersion.ini

Error code=2
2015-10-07 12:21:28.875"

My version is 150816 [64] which is later than the version currently on the website - but using the version on the website gives the same error.

Seems like your firewall/proxy/antivirus/provider blocks internet access. I can't do anything from my side, url in the message is available and online.

pfmoore · 2015-10-07T12:26:40Z

Hmm, it's odd that it's worked for ages and suddenly stopped now. Also, when my proxy blocks content it usually does so with its own HTML page, not the above github 404. But nevertheless, thanks for the explanation.

The fosshub URL only has the preview build. Where can I get the developer build (which is what I currently have, from 150816)?

pfmoore · 2015-10-07T12:28:27Z

Never mind, I found it by getting http://conemu.github.io/version.ini directly (my proxy doesn't block it when I open it in Chrome). So I have the latest version now.

Maximus5 · 2015-10-07T13:03:59Z

https://conemu.github.io/en/UpdateModes.html#auto-troubleshoot

pfmoore · 2015-10-07T13:35:17Z

Thanks. It's very odd - command line programs like curl and conemuc give no error, but get a 404 from github. But Chrome gets the file. I've tried setting the user agent string in Curl, but that didn't help.

Never mind, I may just have to update manually from now on.

Maximus5 · 2015-10-07T13:38:35Z

In deed, very odd...
Any changes with httpS protocol may be?
And what about http://conemu.ru/version.ini ?

pfmoore · 2015-10-07T14:23:36Z

Ah. Works fine with https. I get the same results with the http://conemu.ru/version.ini URL (github 404 page)

My proxy is an ISA server (NTLM proxy) and command line programs use a Forefront TMG client (which generally means I need no proxy settings in client programs). Maybe the TMG client has stopped allowing unencrypted URLs? And yet I still don't see why I'd be getting the github 404 page rather than a proxy response...

pfmoore · 2015-10-07T14:32:17Z

Changing my config to use Update.VerLocation=https://conemu.github.io/version.ini makes the auto-update check work again :-)

pfmoore · 2015-12-07T15:47:06Z

I just hit this issue again because I had to rebuild my PC. Would it be reasonable to change the default URL to use HTTPS rather than HTTP? It probably won't help people trying to auto-update older versions, but it might help new users.

One thing I'll add here (because it confused me at first) - if you haven't changed the settings at all, the Update.VerLocation option may not be present in your settings XML file. If you just do a dummy update and save the file, it'll get added and you can then edit the file with the new value. (The config screen under "Updates" shows the URL, but you can't edit it from the GUI, you have to manually change the XML file in a text editor).

Maximus5 · 2015-12-08T00:17:52Z

No reasons to refuse HTTPS, let's try.
URL field is editable now.
URL is not saved to settings (empty string is written) if it matches to default one.

Works perfectly! Many thanks for this
