Thanks for making Oolite work on linux distros

Some necromancy on the OXP Manager HTTPS support.
The Oolite for Linux 32bit solution is now available for testing.

EDIT:
Tested successfully with the following URLs
https://www.dropbox.com/s/l3iquk5sbqcvymi/oolite.oxp.popsch.Stashes.oxz?dl=1
https://12009.selcdn.ru/links/oolite/MFDRestoreAfterLoad_0.1.oxz <--- This one was forced into the manifest plist

on various 32bit Linux distros such as:
Fedora 25.1.3
Linux Mint 18 (Debian, Ubuntu LTS)
Mageia 5.1 (forked from Mandriva)
Manjaro 16.10.3 (Arch)
Slax 7.0.8 (Slackware)

I'm completely not sure if this is in the slightest bit related, but when nosing through the Expansion Mangler just now, I tried "Stashes.ozp" and found it wasn't downloading. No idea what the reason is, and I feel a need to hide my knees behind a layer of broken Thargoid bits.

Stashes downloaded successfully, using Oolite 1.86 and latest Oolite nightly on Ubuntu 16.04 64bit.

Which version of Oolite are you using?
O/S?
O/S Architecture (i.e. 64/32bit)?
Can you attach the Oolite Latest.log at failure?
Are you on a VPN, or behind a firewall, or behind a proxy (or other network element) that could perhaps prevent Oolite from reaching dropbox URL? (this is where Stashes is stored)

When you notice the failure, please. use your web browser to navigate to the following address:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/l3iquk5sbqcvy ... s.oxz?dl=1
This should ask you to download the oolite.oxp.popsch.Stashes.oxz file, and the downloaded file (in the browser's downloads folder) should have a size of 4831bytes.

Waiting for your feedback.

EDIT #1:
Ensure you have the latest expansions list by selecting the main menu option "Manage Expansion Packs" --> "Update expansions list"

EDIT #2:
Stashes downloaded successfully, using Oolite 1.86 and latest Oolite nightly on Mageia 5.1 32bit.

Nice catch, Dizie! That point slipped my attention. Apparently, it does!

v 1.84 ( iddn't notice - is 1.86 now the production version? On Mint 18 - which I think is 64 bit. "Mate-64"
Errrr, I started Oolite to check the situation ... which may have re-written that? 18 kb, attached at end.
I've changed nothing at my end of the pipe. Whether my ISP has changed something en route ... no way to tell. It does ; 4.7 KiB (4831 bytes)

EDIT #1: ... "Update expansions list"

I usually do. Might have forgotten, but normally I do. Definitely did this time, and still getting the DL error. The appendage below got attached to the end of the Latest.Log

Are the comments about Gnustep Base and TLS relevant? Sounds like I need to update to Oolite 1.86 ?

Indeed it would have.. fortunately, this is why Oolite keeps not just the Latest.log, but also a Previous.log file..

Is the comment about TLS failures relevant? Do I need to upgrade to 1.86?

I upgraded. Stashes is downloading happily now. Back to wading though the bits of broken Thargoids.
