Re: [eclipse-mirrors] ftp.acc.umu.se not getting any traffic?

Hi there,

This issue has gone on long enough. I've posted a patch for the mirror
trender, which will handle redirects.

http://git.polarsys.org/c/polarsys.org/downloads.git/commit/?id=2843f10c81f20660e8536fd21140dec4858ed4e5

I'll deploy it in a few minutes.

Thanks, that seems to have solved that issue!

Another detail I noticed now is that while you access the eclipse.org web site using https, downloads still happen using http (at least for ftp.acc.umu.se).

We're fully able to handle https, and we see that more and more projects are moving towards an unbroken https chain during interactive downloads.

Hi!

Our mirror, ftp.acc.umu.se, don't seem to get any traffic.

I know we've had this issue previously, but now it seems to be even
worse than before.

The main issue is likely that the mirror status checking thingie used
by eclipse.org doesn't accept the redirects provided by ftp.acc.umu.se
as valid replies. It's hard to know however, as I haven't found any
page listing the actual mirror status as seen by the eclipse.org system.

The thing is, ftp.acc.umu.se is comprised by a few frontends that only
serve small files and redirects large files to a larger number of
offload hosts. See https://ftp.acc.umu.se/about/ for more details if
you are interested.

Anyhow, for our mirror these redirects are completely normal and NOT
an error!

Download redirectors such as Mirrorbits and MirrorBrain can be
configured to be aware of this, and we sincerely hope that the
download redirector system used by eclipse.org can be convinced to do
so as well.


On behalf of the ftp.acc.umu.se admins,
