Josh Elser commented on ACCUMULO-3932:
--------------------------------------
bq. The links on the download page don't work with left-click if google
analytics are blocked with a plugin (like Ghostery).
How do they not work? Can you open up the browser's console and see if there
are javascript errors? Or, you could user the debugger and step through the
javascript to see where it hangs (or at least where it leaves our javascript
before hanging).
bq. Right clicking to download with "Save as..." does still work, but that
won't work if scripts are blocked entirely. When scripts are blocked, the
mirror selection is not done automatically, and the links take you to the
mirror redirector page, and not the direct downloads. So, right-click won't
work in that case, and left-click is pretty important.
IMO, the first question to answer is whether or not we want the site to work
w/o JS being enabled. We might be able to put a "default" mirror in the HTML
template for when JS isn't enabled. When JS is enabled, we'd still choose a
different mirror at random. It would pin non-JS browsers to that specific
mirror, but I can't imagine the number of users w/o JS is very high..
