      I get an IOException when trying to fetch the latest update center data.

      java.io.IOException: Could not find JSON in http://updates.jenkins-ci.org/update-center.json?id=default&version=1.642
      	at hudson.model.DownloadService.loadJSON(DownloadService.java:170)
      	at hudson.model.UpdateSite.updateDirectlyNow(UpdateSite.java:173)
      	at hudson.PluginManager.doCheckUpdatesServer(PluginManager.java:959)
              ...
      

      Trying wget on the same host to download the data from works fine:

      $ wget -v "http://updates.jenkins-ci.org/update-center.json?id=default&version=1.642"

      The DownloadService seems to use plain JDK HTTP client (HttpURLConnection). To debug the download, I ran the following snippet in Script Console:

      con = new URL("http://updates.jenkins-ci.org/update-center.json").openConnection()
      println con.class.name
      println con.responseCode
      println con.instanceFollowRedirects
      println con.inputStream.text
      println con.getHeaderFieldKey(5)
      println con.getHeaderField(5)
      

      the output is:

      sun.net.www.protocol.http.HttpURLConnection
      302
      true
      <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">

      Location
      ftp://ftp.halifax.rwth-aachen.de/jenkins/updates/current/update-center.json
      

      So I think the JDK is not following redirects to FTP URLs.
