-connection-log instruction not working

DEVELOPMENT

Hi there,

I’m currently working with bndtools release version 6.1.0 and I wanted to verify locally that the settings in my connection-settings.xml are properly working. As mentioned in bndtools documentation, there should be the -connection-log instruction to allow logging of those settings.
Apparently, I couldn’t get it to work and having a look at the sources, it seems that I cannot find any trace of this instruction in the code.

So I was wondering, was/is/will this instruction/feature working once because it’d definitily help me debug builds.

All the best,
Michael

You are right, the code is in there but it is not activated by setting the property.

A good way to debug connection settings is the bnd com command.

Available sub-commands: 
  clear                       -         Clear the cached file that is
                                        associated with the givenURI 
  info                        -         Show the information used by the
                                        Http Client to get aremote file 
  settings                    -         Show the bnd -connection-settings

Ah great, thanks for the PR and also the pointer to the bnd program/jar. That helps a lot.
