[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #50268] get_forge_pkg: could not read URL

[Mike Miller]

Follow-up Comment #20, bug #50268 (project octave):

I don't think we want to go backwards on secure access to downloading Forge
packages.

Maybe it should be documented on the wiki that it is a known issue that https
access does not work on Windows XP, and therefore pkg install -forge will not
work on Windows XP. Workaround is to download package files using a modern
browser / TLS stack and install them in Octave from local files.
