| [eclipse-mirrors] ftp.acc.umu.se never chosen by eclipse.org download site |
Greetings!While verifying that things works OK with the new ftp.acc.umu.se 20 Gbps bandwidth we noticed that we have very few eclipse downloads.
I tried reloading https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/oomph/epp/neon/R2a/eclipse-inst-linux64.tar.gz numerous times but it never picked ftp.acc.umu.se, which should be closest since I'm browsing from a university computer.
We find this odd.To further add insult to injury it seems that the eclipse.org download system has permanently cached the temporary redirects used by our master server to offload traffic to our offload servers, presenting those cached URL:s to clients. This is VERY BAD since it means that some eclipse.org downloads will stop working if we take an offload server out of service for some reason.
https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/oomph/epp/neon/R2a/eclipse-inst-linux64.tar.gz&format=xml is a typical example, it shows the link to ftp.acc.umu.se as:
http://saimei.acc.umu.se/mirror/eclipse.org/oomph/epp/neon/R2a/eclipse-inst-linux64.tar.gz The correct link should be http://ftp.acc.umu.se/...Offload is done using temporary redirects (which should NEVER be cached) to suitable available offload targets (one or many depending on load).
Please correct the behavior and don't cache the results from temporary redirects.
