Oh, nevermind, the web server is already redirecting to https anyway, so if anyone were affected by this they would have already noticed.

I would like to use https everywhere, but just as an advisory, Mercurial with https may fail for some users with an older Python 2.7.

I know from experience that 'hg clone https://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave' fails on Ubuntu 14.04 with Python 2.7.6, and only works after installing a newer Python 2.7.

I'll take a look unless someone else beats me to it

While checking one of the compile logs for MXE Octave on the buildbots I found this:


if [ -d octave-hg-repo ]; then \
  cd octave-hg-repo \
    && hg pull && hg update stable; \
else \
  hg clone http://octave.org/hg/octave octave-hg-repo \
    && cd octave-hg-repo \
    && hg pull && hg update stable; \
fi
pulling from http://octave.org/hg/octave
real URL is https://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave


I think someone should go through the MXE files and update any http locations and any out-of-date addresses for Mercurial to the new ones ahead of the 4.4 release.
