How to change Jenkins mirror, when proxy forbids keyword ftp
When I install a jenkins-plugin like the 'git-plugin', then jenkins redirects my requests to the mirror ftp.halifax.rwth-aachen.de. But I work behind a corporate proxy that forbid requests to URL containing the word 'ftp'.
Is there a way to choose or disable the mirror when downloading plugins for jenkins? Jenkins has no problems installing plugins from sites that do not contain 'ftp'.
Here is the error from jenkins log-view:

By default Jenkins is using http://updates.jenkins-ci.org/update-center.json as a "load balancer" url which forwards you to the closest geographical mirror json (i.e. http://ftp-nyc.osuosl.org/pub/jenkins/updates/current/update-center.json for me). What you can do is use your own json file for that purpose by installing this plugin and host json file anywhere you want (i.e. internally):
