ILO url changed

[SebaJeku]

The ILO url seems to have changed from
http://www.ilo.org/sdmx/rest
to
https://sdmx.ilo.org/rest/

Ah, thank you!

I had noticed sporadic (meaning, sometimes passed after having failed) failures of tests against the prior URL, and searched their website (in vain) for any announcement of a change. In #175 I was about to reluctantly mark all the ILO tests as XFAIL. I will instead try the new URL you suggest.

Can you please say where you found out about the new URL?

[SebaJeku]

There's an URL generator service at https://ilostat.ilo.org/resources/sdmx-tools/
I found no official announcement by ILO as well.
I filed a request to ILO for confirmation and will cite the answer here as soon as I received one.

Thanks for doing that. In the 2.15 release I put out yesterday, I added a note to the same effect. Let's see what they say.

Dear colleagues,

Due to a restructure of the www.ilo.org domain routing, some redirections of the main domain URLs may be affecting the ILOSTAT SDMX dissemination web service, making your queries fail.

Please change the base URL of the SDMX API to https://sdmx.ilo.org/rest instead of www.ilo.org/sdmx/rest.

Our sincere apologies for the inconvenience.

Do not hesitate to contact us in case you have any issues after the change. Your feedback will also be much appreciated.

All the best,
Department of Statistics (STATISTICS)

Excellent, thanks for corresponding with ILO and sharing their response. Users who follow the link from the docs should be able to see it here.
