Added master.worldcommitygrid.org but still getting "old URL" notice

Today my BOINC Manager was sporting a notice:

World Community Grid: Notice from BOINC
This project is using an old URL. When convenient, remove the project, then add https://master.worldcommunitygrid.org/
Friday, June 24, 2022 at 06:46:59 PM


I removed the https://www.worldcommunitygrid.org proj and added project with URL: https://master.worldcommunitygrid.org, signing in with my existing account.

The new project again shows the same notice, and in Properties shows:

General
URL http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/
User name
Team name


Note the http not https, and no user or team!

https://master.worldcommunitygrid.org/ just redirects to https://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/

Try it in a browser and see.

Have no idea why the message.

Re: Added master.worldcommitygrid.org but still getting "old URL" notice

According to my BOINC client, the URL is:

http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/

I don't see mention of what URL to use under Download or About. I'd guess it would show if you created a new account, otherwise Sofar as I can remember that has been the URL for some time.

However, I am using BAM! to manage my computers/projects so I generally haven't had to deal with manually entering URLs.

Word from Krembil (and listing it on the website) would clarify things especially as many projects have transitioned to HTTPS. (Although even if somebody was sniffing your packets, they really wouldn't getting anything of value).

I can connect and get the master file, but after that I get: 6/27/2022 3:29:31 PM | World Community Grid | Scheduler request failed: HTTP service unavailable

Hi Greg.

This is the message we are all getting. They have gotten the website and forums up, but are still working on how to get WUs sent out. Just wanted to let you know that the issue isn't on your end, but the server side.
