Delphi 10.4 GetIt connection issue

[Eugene67 0]

I can't connect to GetIt from Delphi 10.4 IDE from my home computer but from work computer everything works fine.

ISPs at home and work are different.

Trying to open the GetIt URL (getit.embarcadero.com) in the browser, I get a 404 error. 

What could be the reason?

It's working for me. Try using https://getitnow.embarcadero.com/ . Also if you've used the ISO installer you've to switch getit to "online mode" (from the command line execute: GetItCmd.exe -c=useonline).

The fact of the matter is that it depends on the Internet service provider. I asked my friends to check the availability of getit.embarcadero.com in the browser. Some providers give a normal response (i.e. GetIt REST API page), others get a 404 error. In the browser https://getitnow.embarcadero.com/ works fine. Try to switch to "online mode" - no changes.

Pretty sure only getitnow is setup to accept basic browser access.

 

The others appear to be redirected to this error.

 

Check: 

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Embarcadero\BDS\??.0\CatalogRepository]
ServiceURL=https://getit.embarcadero.com

Thank you very much!

Setting

Quote

ServiceURL=https://getit.embarcadero.com

helped me solve the problem.

After Delphi 10.4 installation this value was https://getit-104.embarcadero.com

Same happened to me, seems to be a case manufacturer obsolescence:

There's also a problem with the IDE accessing GetIt on Win7 related to out of date OS encryption. There's instructions from Microsoft on how to rectify that.

This completely solved the issue.

hmm.. even pointing to https://getitnow.embarcadero.com, and having applied kb3140245 Windows Update, it is still not working.

Any clues?

PS: I know that Windows7 is not officially supported by Delphi 10.4. Though, this problem was not existing in the same environment (Delphi +Windows7), some months ago.

Further interesting test (always with HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Embarcadero\BDS\21.0\CatalogRepository ServiceUrl = https://getitnow.embarcadero.com):

GetItCmd -l= -f=all returns this => "Cannot load data from the server: Error sending data: (12175) A security error occurred"

Note the other test below

You need to set the ServiceUrl to https://getit.embarcadero.com instead.  https://getitnow.embarcadero.com is the web front end that is meant for humans to access, not the IDE to access.

Now, I have a list (things are improving).. but the problem is now that not all the packages are presented (143/338). Eg: none of the "IDE Plugins" category are present.

I finally get it work, without any changes in the GetIt http ServiceURL (remains https://getit-104.embarcadero.com), following what is told in the above link, and probably also by doing what told at chapter "Enable TLS 1.1 and 1.2 on Windows 7 at the SChannel component level" from Update to enable TLS 1.1 and TLS 1.2 as default secure protocols in WinHTTP in Windows (microsoft.com).

..and here is the result

When one want to stay with Windows7, one need to fight

This problem seems to be a while already but I  just experienced it now after reinstalling Delphi 10.4. I followed the updated ServiceUrl since I cannot access the Getit Package Manager but the loaded packages are not updated.

 

Found the solution here especially on the offline installer: https://docwiki.embarcadero.com/RADStudio/Sydney/en/Release_Notes

I am still having issues with this problem and get the same error after changing the service url.
Anyone have an updated solution for this issue?

What version are you using? What service url are you using? Things have changed in recent years.
