I can confirm the problem. And as Hoikas already suspected in the other topic, it *is* related to the move to HTTPS. The cheap HTTP client I am using in Alcugs (essentially a hand-rolled one on directly on TCP sockets) does not support HTTPS. Hoikas, you caught me off-guard here ;-) (The reason it still worked for you is the authentication cache, I suspect.)

Now, is there any chance that we could have, at least temporarily, a subdomain that provides the `cgas.php` *without* enforcing encryption? The script (as far as I recall) already validates the sender IP address, so it can't be used by anything but the Shard. Furthermore, it forwards the challenge-response protocol that's run between client and Shard, and doesn't transmit the password in unencrypted form. So it's not super-ciritical to do that via HTTPS (unlike, say, the board login. Thanks for going encrypted here!).

In the long run, of course the server should support HTTPS. But I have no idea when I'll get around to implement that, I never worked with curl or wget (which would be the obvious candidates to use here). Of course, the code is all open source, so anybody could help here :D

I temporarily disabled the connection to the GoW forums. That means that if you ever logged in before, then you should now be able to use whatever password you used back then. New users are locked out until we can get the connection back, sorry :(

However, I also had an idea for that that involves no change to the Shard, and no change to the GoW server. It's a horrible hack, but whatever ;-)
(I'm going to set up a reverse proxy on DI that connects to the GoW server, and tell the Shard to use that one. The proxy will only be available locally. Didn't I say it's horrible? ;-) )

Yay, may crazy idea worked :D

So everything should be back to normal now, plus the connection between the Shard and GoW is now https-secured. For some reason, I hda to disable validation of the certificate for this to work. Oh well...^^

Thanks for your patience!

Awesome, thanks diafero. Sorry I caught you off guard--I didn't consider for a moment that your scripts would dislike 301 responses. It's also good to encrypt the old-style auth request considering the hash it uses...
