------------------------------------
Summary: Procedure for using a randomly selected Apache mirror to
download Apache Flex binaries
Key: FLEX-33187
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLEX-33187
Project: Apache Flex
Issue Type: Task
Reporter: Erik de Bruin
Assignee: Bertrand Delacretaz
Priority: Blocker
This task describes the procedure for using a randomly selected Apache mirror
to download Apache Flex binaries.
When the application needs to download a binary from the Apache Flex project,
it makes makes a request to the 'single mirror url' CGI that lives in the root
of the project site. This CGI returns the URL of a randomly selected Apache
mirror, located near the user's geographical location. The CGI is a simple
wrapper around the standard mirror selection functionality provided by
apache.org. Both the Install Apache Flex application and the badge utility that
goes with it use this functionality, making sure that binaries are (almost)
never downloaded directly from apache.org servers.
