WCG is still in a testing phase and limited tasks are going out. The http(s) issue isn't stopping you from getting tasks. There aren't many tasks to get at the moment.

The fact that you can't get any WUs is not due to any http(s) error, which doesn't exist in the first place, but simply because there are no WUs beside a few test WUs send out most days...Thanks Sascha This has been mentioned on the forum already ad nauseam...

I changed down to HTTP and I haven't had any URL change notifications since.
----------------------------------------This would have been a deliberate choice by the project team when they fixed the previous incorrect URL notification issue. I am curious to know why the project team have chosen to use the unsecured URL base for the project when the trend over time has been for all projects to migrate up to HTTPS. If HTTP is here to stay then I would suggest that we all re-attach the project to it at some point, however, if the team intend to migrate back to HTTPS after initial testing then ignoring the notification will be fine too.

Hi LumenDan, there are no immediate plans to change the URL from HTTP at the moment. We will investigate the required effort and benefit to moving to HTTPS for the project URL in the future, and if we deem it necessary to change the URL we will notify all users well in advance. |
