I know I really should be putting this on the dev list. The reason I'm
not doing so is because I'm already subscribed to far too many mailing
lists. I don't expect to be making a ton of contributions to ZK, so I
don't want to join another mailing list for one little discussion. If
at some point I *do* find myself more involved with ZK development, I
will join the dev list.
I just cloned the source to poke around a little bit, not make changes.
I find eclipse fairly easy to use, so I wanted to prep the repository
for loading into that software. I typed "ant eclipse" immediately after
cloning from the github mirror. It failed.

C:\Users\elyograg\git\zookeeper\build.xml:1809: Redirection detected
from http to https. Protocol switch unsafe, not allowed.
Total time: 0 seconds
====
The reason is simple -- sourceforge no longer allows unencrypted
access. They are nice enough to redirect the request to https, and if
this had been a browser access, that would have worked without problem.
But apparently ant doesn't consider such redirects to be safe.
The fix is easy -- add one character to the ant build. I tested this,
it worked without issue on Windows. I expect it would work on the
better operating systems too.

Do you want an issue in Jira, or is this informal discussion enough?
Thanks,
Shawn
