as previously announced, the eduGAIN OT is now ready to deliver two

Hi Davide,

I'm just clarifying my understanding of where the various feeds are. I also see on https://technical.edugain.org//metadata

The feeds http://mds.edugain.org and https://mds.edugain.org/feed-sha256.xml are just copies of http://mds.edugain.org//edugain-v1.xml and are provided for backwards compalitibility but should be considered deprecated.

Yes, we put the same feed to edugain-v1.xml, index.xml, feed-sha256.xml

Other than the typo, I'm curious that one of those has https://. Is https:// in general a supported equivalent for http:// on this domain? Is it just something that works but is not supported?

Both http and https are supported. We don't redirect http to https for now. 

I ask because at some point in the past we (UKf) seem to have started using https://mds.edugain.org/edugain-v1.xml as the location we are pulling the production feed from, and from the above it looks like that was a mistake. Can you clarify?

Finally, I can also see a reference in our code to http://mds-test.edugain.org, implying that it was presumably a previous "test" aggregate (maybe back in 2016, which is when it is dated). Can you confirm that's now replaced by the new edugain-v1-beta feed?

On mds-test.edugain.org is our test environment. Perhaps at some point we announced this URL, but not now.

Now the new edugain-v1-beta feed (produced by the newest pyFF with psi:type dropped) is available at

https://mds.edugain.org/edugain-v1-beta.xml 

Greetings

Maja 

Cheers,
