Perhaps suggest it to the mirrors but not a make it a requirement. kernel.org already has debian for http but it is not like that, and some mirrors may want to use a server on an alternate port so as not to conflict with their existing web server. I would much rather have a large selection of mirrors that support http/1.1 (range header most vitally) then to have a smaller set because we were too restrictive. Deity will be using a mirror list so I don't think many people will mind if the mirrors are different.. (and dselect doesn't even support http) Jason -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
