about closer.cgi

[shimi <sh...@shimi.net>]

I just tried it in that link: 
http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/httpd/binaries/win32/

it said that it doesn't find a mirror in my dns code. although my reverse 
dns is the same as the mirror itself, because I connected from the same 
domain...

i am talking about the .il domain.

is there a chance that in case that close.cgi didn't resolve successfully 
the hostname [i.e. last characters are int] - it'll say so and mention 
that if you do know that your host resolves, wait a few moments and 
refresh the page so it displays the mirror close to you?

or more than that - just use geoip and solve all the problems at once?

  Best regards,
     Shimi

We hope to adopt that as part of our "official" mirroring stuff, but we
haven't gotten around to it yet.

Hello Guys,

When we first started using DATE a web page was created showing all the
mirrors and there "age". Has someone still got the url for it ?

Thanks,

Close, but not quite.  There are two problems:

1. mirrors.cgi does not take PATH_INFO and convert it into the appropriate
references.

2. There are lots of references already on our webpages to closer.cgi,
using PATH_INFO.  So we really need to make something compatible at that
URL.  It shouldn't be too difficult, but I haven't had time to look at it.

Use http://www.apache.org/dyn/mirrors/mirrors.cgi instead.  -- justin

geoip is being used for the main mirroring script; see
http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi for example.
But closer.cgi has not been converted to take advantage of this yet.  It
is on the list of things to do (at least in my head).
