The upload to gmcmap.com does not work anymore.
journalctl shows

Apr 21 09:34:35 pihole gclog[30652]: CPM: 28 (= 1662/60), Timestamp: Sun Apr 21 07:33:35 2019
Apr 21 09:34:36 pihole gclog[30652]: [WARNING] Upload to gmcmap.com failed.

When I try to simulate an upload from command-line, I get:

$ curl -v "www.gmcmap.com/log2.asp?AID=01234&GID=1234567890&CPM=33"

So it looks like they're now redirecting all requests to https, which is not supported by the code in gclog.c .

Other people are discussing vaguely similar issues at the GQ forum

Either the forced upgrade to https was not planned, or they have not measured the consequences.

HTTPS support has been on the todo list for a year now. :(

The easiest way would be to use libcurl instead of the simple TCP client tcpcli.h. But that would break the compatibility with 4MB flash OpenWrt routers.

I understand. But if they keep the redirect to https, it won't work anymore for all supported plaftorms, not only for OpenWrt.

I'll see how complex it is to write a wrapper for mbed TLS and integrate it. But that will take a while...

While it'll be nice to have https included later, it's not urgent. GQ has reckoned there was an issue at their side:

Sorry guys we are trying to fix the issues. Looks like https problem.
