[Support for http-only repository]

Currently we can not use http only protocol to access  all armbian packages .

There is a http => https redirection .

 

This redirection prevent the usage of squid-proxy to optimize bandwidth .

I understand in other side the usage of https , the need of privacy/trust .

 

Can you propose a http-only alternative ?

 

Multiple solutions are possible :

•   no redirection , but you can still promote https urls
•   a second url that will be provide a http only access to repository

 

because we can change the user-agent for apt  via this parameter Acquire::http::User-Agent

•   a rule based on user-agent that prevent redirection
•   a rule based on user-agent that do the redirection , with a default configuration for armbian .
