Summary: Web Connector: Fix SSL issues in redirections
Key: CONNECTORS-1762
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CONNECTORS-1762
Project: ManifoldCF
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Web connector
Affects Versions: ManifoldCF 2.26
Reporter: Piergiorgio Lucidi
Fix For: ManifoldCF next
This is the pull request #164 from Soggard:
[https://github.com/apache/manifoldcf/pull/164]
??We noticed that in some case, when using the new "Force the inclusion of
redirections" option in the Web Crawler Connector, we encounter SSL certificate
error. This happens when whe try to get the final URL from a redirection in
order to add it to the seed.??
??We can fix this by disabling SSL verification while getting final URL from
pages with redirections. The unchecked certificates should not cause any
problems, since it's only about adding the new host to the seed. All usual
checks will be applied during the indexing.??
??Note that when fetching the final url, we do not take into account the
connector's graphical option to able or disable certificate validation:
certificates are always ignored. Still, once the actual crawling takes place
when the final list of seed hosts is established, the option about
certification validation is respected again.??
We can consider this for ManifoldCF 2.28.
