Hi Sorry to use this public place, but IRC and emails to [EMAIL PROTECTED] have not helped in the past.
I have several issues with using the files server downloads.digium.com, which has replaced the simple ftp/http file server ftp.digium.com. In downloads.d.c the directory listing is served through a seperate per-directory script with an obscure name. Let's look at http://downloads.digium.com/pub/telephony/ I get a list of items. I have to guess which of them is a file and which is a directory. There is no proper date of change. Furthermore, I cannot follow links directly. Links are redirections. For instance, the link marked with "aadk" points to: http://www.digium.com/elqNow/elqRedir.htm?ref=http://downloads.digium.com/pub/telephony/aadk $ HEAD 'http://www.digium.com/elqNow/elqRedir.htm?ref=http://downloads.digium.com/pub/telephony/aadk' 200 OK Connection: close Date: Mon, 29 Oct 2007 10:05:54 GMT Accept-Ranges: bytes ETag: "26cb96-963-433e597412940" Server: Apache/2.2.3 (Debian) PHP/5.2.0-8+etch7 mod_ssl/2.2.3 OpenSSL/0.9.8c Content-Length: 2403 Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 Last-Modified: Wed, 27 Jun 2007 16:18:05 GMT Client-Date: Mon, 29 Oct 2007 10:05:49 GMT Client-Peer: 216.207.245.16:80 Client-Response-Num: 1 As you can see, that script doesn't really redirect. It does not point me to the new file name. If I use a web browser, I still get the illusion of a directory tree, but this breaks any decent attempt of mirroring downloads.d.o . It also breaks downloads with wget. There is no proper date for files as well. A casual look on the files in the directory can no longer tell you when the version was released. Even worse, you cannot use wget -c to avoid a duplicate download, as on the second time you try to download, you have a "newer version" of the original. Another problem is that an incorrect link will not return an 404 page. It will redirect you to the homepage. In short, HTTP may return some codes other than 200.
