I implemented a first variant: https://github.com/matthiasblaesing/netbeans-tools/tree/proxy-chooser https://github.com/matthiasblaesing/netbeans-tools/commit/ab41d0dd364a9135675cdf5331c3a0500cb63a46 The result can be seen here: NetBeans 11.3: Fetch the base updates.xml: https://doppel-helix.eu/apache/netbeans/netbeans/11.3/nbms/updates.php Fetch an updates.xml, that uses the mirror ftp.halifax.rwth-aachen.de (for a list see http://www.apache.org/mirrors/): https://doppel-helix.eu/apache/netbeans/netbeans/11.3/nbms/updates.php?mirror=ftp.halifax.rwth-aachen.de For archived versions, the "mirror" entry is ignored and the source is moved to archive: https://doppel-helix.eu/apache/netbeans/netbeans/11.2/nbms/updates.php?mirror=ftp.halifax.rwth-aachen.de The difference is, that the "distibution" attributes are relative i the base version and fully qualified in the mirror version. @all: Does this looks sane? @Antonio, Neil: Here is the setup I used to simulate: $docRoot/apache/netbeans/netbeans/11.3/nbms/updates.xml holds update.xml from NB 11.3 $docRoot/apache/netbeans/netbeans/11.2/nbms/updates.xml holds update.xml from NB 11.2 $docRoot/apache/proxy-chooser/updates.php holds the script from the above git repository, the folder is writeable by the webserver The .htaccess file reads: RewriteEngine on RewriteRule !/apache/netbeans/netbeans/11.2/nbms/updates.php.*$ apache/proxy-chooser/updates.php$1 [L] RewriteRule !/apache/netbeans/netbeans/11.3/nbms/updates.php.*$ apache/proxy-chooser/updates.php$1 [L] Would that work on the netbeans-vm? Do you request alternatives/improvements? If you have questions, feel free to ask!
