    Priority: Minor  (was: Major)

> closer.cgi could have better defaults for unmatched country code (CC)

>                 Key: INFRA-12031
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-12031
>             Project: Infrastructure
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: Mirrors
>            Reporter: Sebb
>            Priority: Minor
>
> At present if the GeoIP matching returns a country for which there are no mirrors, closer.cgi returns the US/EU backups.
> It might make more sense to return mirrors in the US and/or EU instead.
> The US mirrors should have similar locality to the US backup, and the same would apply with suitable choice of EU mirrors.
> A more sophisticated algorithm could choose between US and EU based on the calculated CC, but that might not be worth the effort unless there is already a suitable database for converting the codes.
