Nix, the purely functional package manager
4f3cf06c97
The --insecure flag to curl tells curl not to bother checking if the TLS certificate presented by the server actually matches the hostname requested, and actually is issued by a trusted CA chain. This almost entirely negates any benefit from using TLS in the first place. This removes the --insecure flag to ensure we actually have a secure connection to the intended hostname before downloading binaries. Manually tested locally within a dev-shell; was able to download binaries from https://cache.nixos.org without issue. [Note: --insecure was only used for fetching NARs, whose integrity is verified by Nix anyway using the hash from the .narinfo. But if we can fetch the .narinfo without --insecure, we can also fetch the .nar, so there is not much point to using --insecure. --Eelco] |
