Description David Williams

2010-10-20 18:02:41 EDT

Going to a recent I-build for WTP, such as 

http://download.eclipse.org/webtools/downloads/drops/R3.3.0/I-3.3.0-20101014185234/

You can find a download link to our wtp-sdk, such as 

http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/webtools/downloads/drops/R3.3.0/I-3.3.0-20101014185234/wtp-sdk-I-3.3.0-20101014185234.zip

This build is not mirrored (and not supposed to be, since an I-build), but 
clicking on "download from canada" takes us to 

http://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/eclipse/webtools/downloads/drops/R3.3.0/I-3.3.0-20101014185234/wtp-sdk-I-3.3.0-20101014185234.zip

and it is not on "ftp.osuosl.org". 

This is nearly a "blocker", but guess there are some work arounds ... such as committers could retrieve with scp ... but, not sure what normal "early testers" are supposed to do.

probably related to changes for bug 324983?

From my post to cross-project:

I think the issue lies in some changes that were made to reduce Eclipse.org bandwidth consumption.  We are redirecting some traffic to mirrors when requests are of a certain type(tar,jar,gz) and certain project are being directed to certain mirrors (just to spread the load).  The catch is these rules failed to take into account that we don't mirror I and N builds, so they were redirecting incorrectly.  I've added some logic to the apache2 config that should prevent this(my egit tast case works) so please let me know if things get better or worse.

-M.

This problem is back. I'm trying to access http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/3.7-I-builds/compositeContent.jar and I get redirected to ftp.osuosl.org. At present it's followed by a timeout from the server. I don't know if that's because the file doesn't exist (it shouldn't since this is a I-build) or if the server doesn't respond.

Fixed. That path wasn't caught by the exclude since it was 3.7 and not 3.6.
