I'm also curious myself as to how this will be resolved...
There are four different situations going on here, all at the same time:
1. The main Digitime website was taken down by repointing
www.digitimetech.com to a random IP address - this happened ~3 weeks ago, but this didn't affect the updates as they talk to a different subdomain.
2. Following Planet's release of V19, the Digitime servers stopped offering the V16 update to V15 Cosmos, meaning that they were stuck on the initial version until they manually updated. This still seems to be the case today.
3. The server at
eu-app-fota.digitimetech.com (IP address 47.254.145.86) has stopped responding to requests - this is different to point 1, as the IP has not changed!
4. The fall-through logic in the updater which contacts a different domain (
eu.fota.digitimetech.com) if a request fails doesn't seem to work properly - that server still works, but the app isn't talking to it
My guess is that Digitime will resolve whatever has broken the eu-app-fota server and that will fix point 3 (and make point 4 irrelevant for now,
until something breaks again)... These guys don't seem particularly competent.
re: Daniel W bringing up "Welcome to nginx" - that's just a Digitime hallmark it seems, they don't change the default pages. Indeed,
app.fota.digitimetech.com currently has one, but my script is able to contact it under
/v3/mob/chk for updates and receive the correct reply. You see a very similar page for OpenResty (instead of nginx) on their malware control server if you go to it:
