Just noticed that BAM is dropping WCG and reloading it due to a supposed change in the URL from http to https - as reported in the forum by GPV67

However when it reloads it as https, you get the message in the log "This project is using an old URL. When convenient, remove the project, then add http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/"

I have had a hunt around and I can't find any reference to a change from http to https - which does not mean it isn't going to happen - maybe it just hasn't happened yet! In the meantime WCG appears to be losing CPU time as jobs are going to continually be wound up, the project reset, then jobs wound up, reset etc.

My nagging doubt is that GPV67 logged his report as WCG rather than Collatz which did recently change.
Apologies if I am wrong but I would hate to see a project like WCG lose any processing time.

The error is nothing more than annoying. You'll get work with both http and https.

It may than be "The error is nothing more than annoying", but a thread got started at WCG https://secure.worldcommunitygrid.org/forums/wcg/viewthread_thread,39241 with the message that WCG will be removed when work is done, and the BOINC Manager showing that work fetch is suspended, and so indeed when I looked in my sole client that's attached to BAM, WCG had this message in the project tab and no new work had been fetched between 9:31PM on the 13th and me hitting the "Allow new tasks" button this morning at 10:33AM. The remove project message remained though , so detached from BAM.

WCG is AFAIK, still not fully adapted to BAM [or BAM has not fully adapted to the WCG security requirements?], so it looks like those in set-forget mode will see WCG being removed, and possibly not be added back [There's a tick box in the project profile to add WCG by default, but this does not seem to work for new clients].

BTW my client uses the http link, where one commenter said that https is being pushed?

Both of my hosts have gone through the allegedly automagic transition from https to http multiple times in the last 24 hours without success. I have had hours today with no tasks or less than full compliment of tasks running. Is there something that can be done to make this work even if it requires manual effort?
