Description Some User CLA 2023-03-18 16:43:21 EDT 
When installing "Eclipse IDE for Java Developers" with the Oomph Eclipse Installer, an `http://` instead of `https://` URL is added as value for `oomph.redirection.index.redirection` in the `eclipse.ini` file of the installation:
```
-Doomph.redirection.index.redirection=index:/->http://git.eclipse.org/c/oomph/org.eclipse.oomph.git/plain/setups/
```

When using the advanced mode of the installer, this `http://` URL can also be seen under the "Bootstrap Tasks".

Yes. But this URL is only a logical URL. The actual catalog is accessed via https://www.eclipse.org/setups/setup.zip and the logical URL is looked up in that zip. So no http access is ever actually used. 

When we migrate to GitHub we will change the URL so I’ll leave this open until then.  Until then, there is no actual cause for concern.
