Ok, but that would only be enough http requests to determine if an archive for 
the main port is available, right? So ideally 1 http request (in the case where 
the archive exists on the server it tried), or maybe a few requests (to check a 
few additional servers). It wouldn't be proportional to the number of 
dependencies.
