This is what appears to have failed. It didn't download anything.

The issue is with the mirror at 95.216.24.32 - it's returning a 404
for the file. If you go to
http://95.216.24.32/updates/MIRRORED.BY
<http://95.216.24.32/updates/MIRRORED.BY>
you get a not found.
Yes, because that webserver uses name-based virtual hosts: you can't
just use the IP in the URL, you need to make sure you send the proper
hostname. You also need to follow HTTP redirects, because the http URL
redirects to a https URL. Like this:
$ curl -sOL -H 'Host: spamassassin.apache.org'
http://95.216.24.32/updates/MIRRORED.BY
$ ls -l MIRRORED.BY
-rw-r--r-- 1 bill staff 1400 Sep 18 00:01 MIRRORED.BY
$ head MIRRORED.BY
#HOW TO UPDATE
#
# SOURCE: https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/spamassassin/site/updates/
#
# 'svn checkout' the repo, update this file, and commit it
#
# A svnpubsub update on spamassassin.apache.org will instantly pull
# from SVN after the commit.
#
# A cron'd update on sa-vm1.apache.org will also automatically pull
I copied the MIRRORED.BY file from the 3.004001 directory then re-ran
sa-update. It pulled down rules and I'm in business.
Kevin, thanks for the patch. It works. Sorry for the extra noise and
perhaps we need to do something about that broken mirror?
The mirror doesn't look broken from here.
