dopewars metaserver no longer works due to https

Closed this issue · 1 comments

It seems that since SourceForge started redirecting all connections from port 80 to port 443 the Metaserver no longer works.

Even if you manually configure the server to connect over port 443 it seems that dopewars is unable to handle the HTTPS transaction and fails to register the server. (or report a meaningful error)

It would be nice if the Metaserver had it's own download package so it could be hosted elsewhere, or if the application could be updated to support HTTPS connections.

dopewars clients and servers should be able to talk to the metaserver again as of 911e3d0.

The metaserver itself is part of the dopewars website, which has always had its own code repository (although not that easy to find at SourceForge): http://svn.code.sf.net/p/dopewars/code/web-template/trunk/
