Documentation issue: Update Center

[aon.91...@aon.at]

Hi SonarQube Community

The documentation about the Update Center (https://docs.sonarqube.org/display/SONAR/Update+Center) lacks some information about the websites that are needed for updating plugins (and probably sonarqube itself).
If you are behind a corporate proxy that is restrictive against servers accessing the internet, you need a list of domains and ports that have to be unlocked. These are:

• update.sonarsource.org
• sonarsource.bintray.com
• akamai.bintray.com

Each of these websites are accessed via HTTPS over port 443

Could someone please create a JIRA issue to update the documentation. Thank you :)

with kind regards

Michael

Hi Michael,

What's coming from akamai.bintray.com?

Thx,

The actual file comes from akamai.bintray.com (Sidenote: Akamai is a content delivery network, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akamai_Technologies)
If you use fiddler composer to do a GET request on https://sonarsource.bintray.com/Distribution/sonar-csharp-plugin/sonar-csharp-plugin-5.8.0.660.jar the webserver will respond with something like this:

HTTP/1.1 302
Server: nginx
Date: Tue, 07 Mar 2017 11:44:55 GMT
Content-Length: 0
Connection: keep-alive
Location: https://akamai.bintray.com/4e/4e5fa631b4b5bc4a4eedf0d44a5e7fdb278fe26507e6bd76358f39aabd9b6f2e?__gda__=exp=1488887815~hmac=XXXXX&response-content-disposition=attachment%3Bfilename%3D%22sonar-csharp-plugin-5.8.0.660.jar%22&response-content-type=application%2Fjava-archive&requestInfo=XXXXX

So you need all 3 domains to finally download a plugin.

Hi Michael,

After some internal discussions, we're not going to make any changes at this time.

But we do appreciate you reporting this and following through on my question.
