in ubuntu-cloudimg-query

burl="${UBUNTU_CLOUDIMG_QUERY_BASEURL:-https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/query}"

Should be:
burl="${UBUNTU_CLOUDIMG_QUERY_BASEURL:-http://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/query}"

Functionality will unchanged and persons using caching /proxy in private environment (or autocaching in public) will benefit from the caching.

[Scott Moser (smoser)]

well, no. functionality would *not* be unchanged.
ubuntu-cloudimg-query would then be vulnerable to man in the middle attacks.

It does no verification of content, and thus needs secure transport.

[Dan Poler (l-dan)]

Would it be possible to make it optional, behind a feature flag, for the limited use case we have?

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Scott Moser (smoser)]

for your limited use case, is it not possible to adjust the environment that it runs in to have a different url ?

[Nicolas Thomas (thomnico)]

It has been taken care of in Juju itself which was the use case.

The parameter is : cloudimg-base-url FYI

Can close invalid
