Where can I download jdk7 under https:// connection?

1033830Aug 19 2013 — edited Aug 19 2013

Good morning!

I have a linux on my desktop and it is not one from oracle. I have chosen linux because it seems to be reliable. But it has no oracle java in it's repository, only open-jdk.

I tried to find a secure place to download oracle java from, but could not find it. Even hash-sums were provided only by http:// protocol, not https:// one.

It seems there is something definitely wrong with the security policy of the oracle java distribution.

Now I consider downloading oracle java and installing it as a serious security risk.

Please, provide a solution for the problem.

Thank you for the attention.

Surely you can copy the download short-cut and prepend it with https  and then execute the download in a new browser window.

If I get you right, you are suggesting me

1. go to the link:

Java SE Downloads

2. toggle "Accept License Agreement",

3. get somehow the download link (well, I had to open "Source code" of the page and find the right one):

http://download.oracle.com/otn-pub/java/jdk/7u25-b15/jdk-7u25-linux-x64.rpm

4. Add 's' after 'http':

https://download.oracle.com/otn-pub/java/jdk/7u25-b15/jdk-7u25-linux-x64.rpm

5. Insert it into the url input of the browser and please the result, right?

And the result is:

( I cannot insert the image, so provide only text )

This is probably not the site you are looking for!

You attempted to reach download.oracle.com, but instead you actually reached a server identifying itself asa248.e.akamai.net. This may be caused by a misconfiguration on the server or by something more serious. An attacker on your network could be trying to get you to visit a fake (and potentially harmful) version ofdownload.oracle.com.

You should not proceed, especially if you have never seen this warning before for this site.

(btn:Proceed anyway)            (btn:Back to safety)

P. S. To say nothing of the fact, that the whole way is defective by design.

Yeah. That's an issue.  The Certificate doesn't match the URL !
