Description
Reseeding is set to: "Try SSL first then non-SSL"
with 2 URLS:
https://ieb9oopo.mooo.com
http://ieb9oopo.mooo.com
The setting "Try SSL first then non-SSL" is not working correct, the log shows reseeding is only done by http:
2013/11/25 19:20:25 | Reseed start
2013/11/25 19:20:25 | Reseeding from http://ieb9oopo.mooo.com
2013/11/25 19:20:33 | Reseed got 68 router infos from http://ieb9oopo.mooo.com with 0 errors
2013/11/25 19:20:33 | Reseed complete, 68 received
Deleting the http URL or setting the option to "Use SSL only" works fine:
2013/11/25 19:11:49 | Reseed start
2013/11/25 19:11:49 | Reseeding from https://ieb9oopo.mooo.com
2013/11/25 19:12:25 | Reseed got 68 router infos from https://ieb9oopo.mooo.com with 0 errors
2013/11/25 19:12:25 | Reseed complete, 68 received

| Summary: | Reseeding with "Try SSL first then non-SSL" uses non-SSL first → HTTP/HTTPS reseed preferences ignored if reseed list changed |
#1349 points out another symptom:
SSL-only reseed setting ignored if reseed list changed
Non-intuitive and not explained. The checkbox only works if your reseed list is the default. Either change the UI or change the reseed code (Reseeder.java line ~293)

Hi, I think I figured out why it ignores ssl preferences if the list has been changed. In net.i2p.router.networkdb.reseed.Reseeder.java in the reseed(boolean echoStatus) method there is a boolean defaulted that is set to true if the list is the default list and false if there is a custom list saved. If true, this will gather only non-ssl defaults or only ssl urls or both (depending on user preference).
if defaulted is false, there is no checking of the list against user preferences, the urls are simply chosen at random.

This is also good to do, even if we're removing HTTP URLs (#1514), because the /configreseed form will save the URL list, even if you just change the SSL/non-SSL setting. So anybody who has saved on this form has a non-default list.
Additional change to add a message if there's no valid URL, and removal of HTTP defaults (#1514) also included in 0.9.19-6.
If you don't use the default list, the reseeder ignores HTTP/HTTPS preferences and uses the list randomly. This assumes that if the user specifies what reseed urls to use, they know what they are doing. Maybe this should be changed.
While looking into this, I found and fixed another bug - requiring SSL with the default list did nothing (the HTTP list was still appended to the HTTPS list). But if you are editing the url list, this would not affect you.
