Hi Hackers,

As per discussion on https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/flat/CAGRPzo-_dSYr5Y1D%2B0uBLo39Bb6MVTg3%3DCM%3DhrmX7LdF%3DfQbhQ%40mail.gmail.com#CAGRPzo-_dSYr5Y1D+0uBLo39Bb6MVTg3=CM=hrmX7LdF=fQbhQ@mail.gmail.com, I've updated the pgadmin website with the attached patch. Instead of the docs pointing developers to an ssh repo link, it points them to https.

Hi

I prefer to keep it as git:// - I've seen caching weirdness with http(s) in the past. 

Those weirdnesses *should* all be gone if it uses the smart http mode, which we didn't support until a few weeks ago, but do now.

 

git:// is supported, and per the thread, Magnus did fix the issue seen. Is there any other reason to change it?

Security? In particular, MITM:ing initial connections etc.
