401290 - Update verify config needs to use externalAusServer

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Release Engineering :: General, defect, P2)

Description

[Robert Helmer [:rhelmer]]

We currently use the bootstrap.cfg setting ausServer to set both the server to upload updates to (via ssh), and the server to test updates (via http).

This works fine for staging, but production uses separate servers for these. The simplest fix I can think of is to make an externalAusServer setting in bootstrap.cfg, and use that for testing.

We should add "externalAusServer" to both fx-moz18-bootstrap.cfg and fx-moz18-staging-bootstrap.cfg. 

For staging, the value for ausServer and externalAusServer would be the same for now, but it feels more consistent with how we would be doing production...

$0.02.

Attachment: Add externalAusServer and use it in Updates::BumpVerifyConfig

This patch makes the suggested changes in comments 0 and 1. It also hardcodes the https protocol - I found with Tb2009rc1 that we weren't specifying a protocol, so wget defaulted to http, and only some of machines behind aus2.m.o correctly redirected to https, leading to spurious FAIL results.

looks good, we should make sure this gets in the shipping configs (might as well add it now)
