Have you tried it?  It's nonsensical.  It comes up with an "httpd/" link,
which when you click on it expands to a "httpd/dist/httpd/" link, and you
click on that and get "httpd/dist/httpd/dist/httpd/" etc.  It doesn't seem
to do anything more than that, and that seems to be the only difference
between that link and the non-"httpd/" version.

Didn't help, sorry.  I guess the only way I'm going to figure this out is
if I go digging into closer.cgi itself... I'll do that.

Thanks,

Hmmm... Well, short of rewriting the script to use
http://maxmind.com/geoip/
(which would be a nice little perl project if anyone wants to
do it), I don't see any way to solve that.

I believe you need to clear your cache (or shift-reload or whatever).  We
are sending an expires header which is probably causing the script with
the broken links to hang around.

That's true, it doesn't.  Well, at least not from outside our department.
Friggin bureaucratic DNS admins.  :-p

It's better I think but still a little screwy.  Now, if I click on full
listing from the page that says this:

--------------------------
http

httpd/

Use one of the sites above or see the full listing of download sites.
--------------------------

I get http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/mirrors/, which is this:
--------------------------
http

mirrors/

Use one of the sites above or see the full listing of download sites.
--------------------------

If I then click on the "mirrors/" link, I again get the
mirrors/dist/mirrors/ nonsense, as in
http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/mirrors/dist/mirrors/:
--------------------------
http

mirrors/dist/mirrors/

Use one of the sites above or see the full listing of download sites.
--------------------------

If I click on the "full listing of download sites" link from the
/dyn/closer.cgi/mirrors/ page or any of the
"mirrors/dist/mirrors/dist/mirrors" pages, I get the actual full listing
from http://www.apache.org/mirrors/.


Odd.

I can't replicate that.  What is the IP address of your client?
Perhaps it doesn't have reverse DNS?  I'm not sure how the
script would handle that.

When I try from .ca I get the proper "See the full list" message because
there are no mirrors.  When I login to www.apache.org and do
lynx http://httpd.apache.org/
and follow the link from there, I get a list of download sites with
proper links.

In any case, I have fixed it so you should get a proper link
to the full list of mirrors regardless of your domain.

Joshua.

Well, if you are coming from .edu, then you should be getting all the
us ones.  Is that not working?  I can only test from .ca and .org.

I'm not sure where you are getting that.  There is a slight problem with
the link to the full list of mirrors (and I'll fix that in a second), but
if it finds mirrors in your country code, then those work fine.
