---------------------------------------------
Summary: Too many requests to /dyn/closer.lua from NetBeans users
behind an HTTP proxy
Key: NETBEANS-2204
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-2204
Project: NetBeans
Issue Type: Bug
Components: updatecenters - Pluginportal
Reporter: Bertrand Delacretaz
A large organization with lots of users behind an HTTP proxy was recently
banned from accessing *.apache.org servers due to too many requests to the
following URL:
http://apache.org/dyn/closer.lua?action=download&filename=incubator/netbeans/incubating-netbeans/incubating-10.0/nbms/updates.xml.gz
Their proxy initiated more than 10'000 connections in 24 hours to that URL,
causing an automatic ban by our infra defenses.
[~wave] rightly notes that this might be due to the NetBeans updates checker,
if that's correct it would be good for someone from the NetBeans team to look
at it in more detail to avoid such problems in the future.
I suppose what needs to be done is to modify that {{closer.lua}} script (or use
it differently if there's such an option already) so that its result is
cacheable by an HTTP proxy.
