Subject: Mirror checking GUI app
I've started working on an online and CLI app that can be used to
check 3rd party mirrors.
So far so good, but there's a way to go yet.
I'm thinking of putting the code under tools because it is usable via
CLI as well.
Hope that's OK.
We can then add a CGI wrapper to allow it to be used from Whimsy.
I think initially it should be restricted to members and officers.
The idea is to be able generate text suitable for pasting into a JIRA
issue (e.g. for errors).
It could even generate the required data for updating the mirror list one day.
But eventually it should be usable by mirror admins to pre-check their mirrors.
That may need some authentication - e.g. mailing address callback - to
prevent misuse.
Hi Sebb,
fine ; cool.
Why not start with something public that mirror-operators
can use to check (just check) their own site ?
I will not check and add mirrors to the mirror list,
so you can use requests to test your stuff.
