YAM update problem
YAM update problem
On fresh install of AOS4.1FE it seems I can't update YAM using its update feature. When ever I try to download components listed in Update Notification window using download button I get the error: Couldn't connect to WWW server 'https'. I've searched yam site but could not find any hints to solve this issue. Anyone have any idea how to fix it?

Does it happens always? Maybe it was just a server problem.
You can grab latest YAM from here (including nightly builds):

Re: YAM update problem
It happens every time. The download address is https://github.com so I doubt it is the problem with github as I am using it from other OSes on daily basis. I think it is the https part that causes troubles. I'm using 2.9p1 version - the latest stable one. I'm a bit surprised that anyone else didn't notice it. Maybe people do not update YAM?

Re: YAM update problem
It's probably the out of date SSL support that causes that problem. It's the same issue that will prevent YAM, SimpleMail etc. from working with many mail providers including GMail.

That is what I've been afraid of. Makes YAM useless for me unfortunately as most providers are switching to SSL.Daedalus wrote:It's probably the out of date SSL support that causes that problem.

YAM 2.7 works ok with Gmail. I Had to downgrade from 2.9p1 due to this SSL problem... Also the latest Beta is said to have a workaround for this issue but I have not tested it myself.Daedalus wrote:It's probably the out of date SSL support that causes that problem.

Re: YAM update problem
from the september changelog of yam (nightly version 2.10dev):
* tcp/http.c: handle "https://" URLs as well. This partly fixes the download
problems on github.com. Unfortunately the redirection scheme used by github
still cannot be resolved correctly, hence the download still fails.
so this has been improved in the current nightlies.
