> Key: FLEX-33187
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLEX-33187
> Project: Apache Flex
> Issue Type: Task
> Components: Installer
> 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.
