Hello,
Playing with unattended deployments of debian using foreman (
https://theforeman.org/) i found out that debian-installer doesn't support
loading the preseeding file from a https server. It do it well from a http
url but using ssl never works. I have found an old question in
stackoverflow about this (
https://serverfault.com/questions/320019/how-to-use-debug-debian-preseed-with-ssl-using-startssl-certs)
explaining that the problem comes from the wget in busybox not compiled
with SSL support, it's old, but it's still true with the actual stable and
testing releases. I would like to know how to fill a bug (wishlist) for
this, also, i would like to hear some opinions about it; other distros have
this support even with the fact that it's not perfect (because you trust
all certificates, and that's not good) but at least you avoid simple
sniffers for tacking your installation data (and hash passwords).
Thanks in advance,
Mario Abajo
