Folks:
I pointed easy_install at this server:
http://allmydata.org/trac/tahoe/wiki/PackageMirror
This is very cool because the files are stored on a secure,
decentralized storage grid. (Details on http://allmydata.org ,
especially http://allmydata.org/~zooko/lafs.pdf .)
However, sometimes easy_install issues an HTTP GET request for a file
with "?t=info" tacked onto the end. http://pypi.python.org and
apache ignore that query arg and just serve up the file, but the
tahoe web server just so happens to use ?t=info for something else
(the "More Info" links on the directory listing there), so this
request fails to serve up the file.
My question is: why does easy_install append "?t=info" to the end of
those requests?
Regards,
Zooko
