sa-update: MIRRORED.BY is 404 for any channel
I'm running 3.3.2 on two FreeBSD 8.3 systems on different networks. Both
systems are configured roughly identically with regard to SpamAssassin. One
system runs Perl 5.16 (not sure if that matters) and can run sa-update without
error, but the other runs Perl 5.12 and gets 404s when it tries to update
MIRRORED.BY for any channel. Well, updates.spamassassin.org or
sought.rules.yerp.org are the ones I tried, at least:
Jun 11 00:35:14.769 [53689] dbg: http: GET http://yerp.org/rules/MIRRORED.BY" request failed, retrying: 404 Not Found: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en"> <head> <title>404 - Not Found</title> </head> <body> <h1>404 - Not Found</h1> </body> </html>
(repeat 3X)
Jun 11 00:05:07.327 [43091] dbg: http: GET http://spamassassin.apache.org/updates/MIRRORED.BY" request failed, retrying: 404 Not Found: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN"> <html><head> <title>404 Not Found</title> </head><body> <h1>Not Found</h1> <p>The requested URL /updates/MIRRORED.BY" was not found on this server.</p> <hr> <address>Apache/2.4.4 (Unix) OpenSSL/1.0.1e Server at spamassassin.apache.org Port 80</address> </body></html>
(repeat 3X)
Same thing happens even if I try only updates.spamassassin.org without gpg.
These 404 errors look just like those in bug 6914, but neither of my systems
are IPv6-only. IPv6 isn't routing on either system (ping6 -c3 ::1 is the only
thing that works).
Bug 6838 was no help, either, because the mirrors in question are alive and
like I said, the one system can sa-update without any issues.
On both systems I get the same DNS results, nothing out of the ordinary. And
when running curl or whatever, I can (via IPv4) fetch the MIRRORED.BY file
from the same URLs just fine, as well as talk to the mirror sites listed
therein. So connecting to the sites shouldn't be an issue.
Sorry if this is a FAQ, user error, or typical newbie configuration oversight,
but I searched for answers for quite a while before resorting to posting here.
Any assistance would be much appreciated. How can I further diagnose this?

I hit a bug a while back that if you end up with an empty file (say because
of a timeout), all future updates fail until the file is removed. This is
fix in current 3.4 SVN checkout. At this point I use the SVN 3.4.0 version
on all my production servers (as do many others).

Thanks; your suggestion worked.
The way MIRRORED.BY files get used and updated(?) is a complete mystery to me.
There was nothing in the old file that was wrong, syntax-wise. It was the same
as the current, working one, but with the last line (the secnap mirror)
commented out by me after seeing something about that site having problems a
while back. How this difference results in the 404s I was seeing is not at all
obvious.

Do you have a MIRRORED.BY file in you spamassassin update directory? It looks like it doesn't have the file with the mirrors in and instead is using the file name.
If so you could copy it over from your other box that's working.

Whoa, you're right. I'm so used to treating quotes as not part of a URL, I
didn't even see they're part of what's being requested.
I note they appear in the bugzilla report I referred to, as well:
https://issues.apache.org/SpamAssassin/show_bug.cgi?format=multiple&id=6914
MIRRORED.BY isn't something I fetch myself; I just run sa-update with various
options set. So where are the quotes coming from?

Note the trailing quote marks on those two URLs. I've no idea where they
came from, but it could well be a simple config error...
