Description:
When attempting to check for updates using the Help -> Check for updates menu option, a dialog is displayed with the following content.
+-----------------------------------------+
| Check for updates failed |
| |
| <urlopen error unknown url type: https> |
| |
| Please verify that your internet |
| connection is available. |
| |
| +-------------------------------------+ |
| + OK + |
| +-------------------------------------+ |
+-----------------------------------------+
No entries are written to the log.
How to repeat:
Select Help -> Check for updates on the menu.
Suggested fix:
Could be related to the way the OS is restricting relative path loading of libraries ("hardening" was the term I saw, but I was being over hacky and not an expert on this).
Considering the content of the URL being asked for is just the JSON of the latest version that's available ...
```json
{
"fullversion": "8.0.41",
"major": "8",
"minor": "0",
"release": "41"
}
```
maybe removing the HTTP => HTTPS redirect on http://workbench.mysql.com/current-release would be the simplest way to fix this as it wouldn't require a new release of code and is instantly doable within your server setup.
