[Fwd: Re: [ANNOUNCE] Apache UIMA base framework version 2.2.2-incubating]

Is this by design? Should we never link download.html?

Any way to fix this automatically?

Will it be possible to provide a statical download location if someone use the download.html page?
E.g. use Apache backup site in this case?

Or is it possible to redirect automatically when calling download.html to download.cgi? I know that
with HTML this is possible when adding something like
   <meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="0; URL="http://incubator.apache.org/uima/downloads.cgi">
to the HTML meta data in the head. But I'm not sure if this works in our case and how we get this
done in download.xml

We could change download.html to be a non-mirror-enabled page, just with 
general info about the versions, and have links that went to a page set 
up for mirroring (and whose name ended in .cgi) where the actual 
download is.  See for an example of this organization,

http://db.apache.org/derby/derby_downloads.html

If you hover over the "l0.4.1.3" link you'll see the mirror (.cgi) page 
being linked to.

Or, we could do something fancy - like rename this to something more 
obscure, and redirect both download.html and download.cgi to 
new-obscure-name-for-download.cgi (I don't really like this approach...)
