mirrorbrain does not support https, so https://download.opensuse.org is redirected to 'mirrorcache' which does support https.
Is current list of HTTPS mirrors available somewhere? I am only aware of standard mirrorbrain list (https://mirrors.opensuse.org/)
Me too, I don't know, but I guess mirrorcache will have a list. The easiest is probably to look at a mirrorlist:
https://mirrorcache.opensuse.org/distribution/leap/15.3/repo/oss/ARCHIVES.gz...
Interesting. Why/how does the URL you've posted adjust itself to apparently knowing that I live in the UK, but for some reason thinks I live in the middle of a park in Chertsey?
Mapping an IP address or range to a country code is easy, but where the coordinates (lang,long) are from, I don't know. Maybe from maxmind. The coordinates I see for my own address are also off by a good few kilometers.
I had expected that list to only have https mirrors, but it also lists http.
It claims there are only http mirrors in the UK, so perhaps similar situations are the reason.
We have five UK mirrors, of which only two support https (but they don't have Leap 15.3). -- Per Jessen, Zürich (-0.1°C)
