However, the redirects will no longer work for mirrors, because they
don't see the local redirects.
For example, this does not redirect:
http://mirror.ox.ac.uk/sites/rsync.apache.org/ace/
Whereas this does:
https://www.apache.org/dist/ace/
At present, some attic projects do redirect; that is because of the
.htaccess files.
http://mirror.ox.ac.uk/sites/rsync.apache.org/harmony/
It seems to me that this is a big change.
And it goes against what you wrote on the following issue:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-16122?focusedCommentId=16380672&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels%3Acomment-tabpanel#comment-16380672
i.e. you still expect mirrors to redirect attic projects.
