403 error (and fix)

[CTTY-NUL]

When running "gradlew check" you'll get the following error message:

Downloading http://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-1.11-all.zip
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.RuntimeException: java.io.IOException: Server returned HTTP response code: 403 for URL: http://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-1.11-all.zip

The fix is simple, in /gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties change the line:

distributionUrl=http://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-1.11-all.zip

to:

distributionUrl=https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-1.11-all.zip

The 403 error is caused by not using HTTPS.
