How to change OpenSuse repo urls to HTTPS?

Question

I want to change

http://download.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/repo/oss/

to

https://download.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/repo/oss/

in yast -> software repositories -> edit -> edit parts of repo -> "x" the https (before it was plain http), but it just gives me the error message:

Download (curl) error for 'https://download.opensuse.org/update/tumbleweed/repo/repoindex.xml': 
Error code: Bad URL
Error message: Protocol "http" not supported or disabled in libcurl

But if I try via hand, both http and https fail:

linux-4tur:~ # curl https://download.opensuse.org/update/tumbleweed/repo/repoindex.xml
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">
<html><head>
<title>302 Found</title>
</head><body>

<p>The document has moved <a href="http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:/Factory:/Update/standard/repo/repoindex.xml">here</a>.</p>

Seems "Factory" has a new URL . Package_repositories#Factory_and_Project_repositories : en.opensuse.org/… — Knud Larsen

Sorry, got tumbleweed mixed up with "leap". Please follow the links : tumbleweed : I don't see any https, only http → download.opensuse.org/tumbleweed . download.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/repo/oss/suse . download.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/repo/oss/suse/repodata — Knud Larsen

Instead of using yast you could edit the *.repo text files below /etc/zypp/repos.d/ with a text editor.

You can test via

$ zypper ref

BTW use curl -L ... to follow redirects.

Editing by hand worked! Thank you! only packman isn't available via HTTPS.. in 2017 :\

Note that there are many different mirrors for packman packman.links2linux.org/mirrors Some of may have https, e.g. gwdg.

Set the url to the https mirror (there's two atm: Germany/gwdg, United States/openSUSE). Otherwise the main repository can redirect you to the nearest http mirror.
