Will it be possible to provide a statical download location if someone use the download.html page? E.g. use Apache backup site in this case?
Or is it possible to redirect automatically when calling download.html to download.cgi? I know that with HTML this is possible when adding something like <meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="0; URL="http://incubator.apache.org/uima/downloads.cgi";> to the HTML meta data in the head. But I'm not sure if this works in our case and how we get this done in download.xml -- Michael Marshall Schor wrote: > Michael Baessler wrote: >> Is this by design?
