A repository that supports resolving artifacts from a URL.
| Property | Description |
allowInsecureProtocol | Specifies whether it is acceptable to communicate with a repository over an insecure HTTP connection. |
url | The base URL of this repository. |
Specifies whether it is acceptable to communicate with a repository over an insecure HTTP connection.
For security purposes this intentionally requires a user to opt-in to using insecure protocols on case by case basis.
Gradle intentionally does not offer a global system/gradle property that allows a universal disable of this check.
Allowing communication over insecure protocols allows for a man-in-the-middle to impersonate the intended server, and gives an attacker the ability to serve malicious executable code onto the system.
