Thanks, Marcel! No, I don't think I have admin access to confluence
(though I'm not sure :)....)
My first idea was to replace to confluence page completly with a static
html page...but if we get the cgi working inside confluence that would
be much easier.
The current solution uses (as installed in other projects) uses two files:
* download.cgi
* download.html
The first one is the cgi which is called, so the "download" link points
to download.cgi. The cgi is pretty simple:
!/bin/sh
# Wrapper script around mirrors.cgi script
# (we must change to that directory in order for python to pick up the
# python includes correctly)
cd /www/www.apache.org/dyn/mirrors
/www/www.apache.org/dyn/mirrors/mirrors.cgi $*
This cgi in turn includes the download.html (in fact it includes an html
page of the same name as the cgi - so if we would call the cgi
dw-felix.cgi, the html has to be named dw-felix.html).
Inside the html page, you can use some variables like [preferred] to get
the actual selected mirror, so a download url is then
[preferred]/felix/something....
We also need a form to change the mirror. (I'll not paste the code for
now, but I can give it to you if you want).
Do you think that this is possible with using confluence?
(In the meantime I'll put the artifacts on the dist server and give you
the links)
