1576734 - Change app.update.url to point to aus.thunderbird.net instead of aus5.mozilla.org

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Thunderbird :: Preferences, task)

Description

[Andrei Hajdukewycz [:sancus]]

We want to change this url so that it redirects through a server we control, that way we can both count update pings the same way Mozilla does, and also more easily control the update path in the future, in case we ever need to run our own update server or anything like that.

You can test this by reducing app.update.interval and doing a restart. Then you can see the update requests in the console and they should 302 redirect correctly to aus5.mozilla.org.

The actual server, aus.thunderbird.net, is already working.

I take your word for it and I'm landing it before the merges to save me the beta uplift.
