That makes sense and confirms that the static site has a bug ...
portions of my work are on hold until the SmalltalkHub issue is resolved
and at least one other GemStone user is impacted, so far...

The static version of StHub seems to always assume the client is Pharo, while
the dynamic version used format=raw (which non-Pharo implementation did not
include in their request for the listing) to send the Pharo specific response
only then.

Depends upon how old that optimized code is ... as little as a 15 days ago, the
last time my travis cron job ran successfully[1], the pharo code presumably was
handling html page returns ... I'm pretty certain I haven't touched the
Monticello HTTP handling code for nearly a decade:)

Hmm, this is going to be a hard one.
SmalltalkHub got optimised in Pharo, consider
MCHttpRepository>>#parseFileNamesFromStream: aStream
| names fullName |
names := OrderedCollection new.
[aStream atEnd] whileFalse:
[[aStream upTo: $<. {$a. $A. nil} includes: aStream next]
whileFalse.
aStream upTo: $".
aStream atEnd ifFalse: [
fullName := aStream upTo: $".
names add: fullName urlDecoded ]].
^ names
vs.
MCSmalltalkHubRepository>>#parseFileNamesFromStream: aNewLineDelimitedString
^ aNewLineDelimitedString
ifNil: [ ^ OrderedCollection new ]
ifNotNil: [ aNewLineDelimitedString substrings: String crlf ]
In the old server code there was probably a way to detect what kind of client was
making the request to determine how to respond. I am not sure a static server can do
that (it is the format=raw query parameter, see
MCSmalltalkHubRepository>>#loadAllFileNames). I also believe GZIP compressed
files were returned in the optimised case.
BTW, there exists code to generate the listing in
ZnMonticelloRepository>>#repositoryListing
^ ZnHtmlOutputStream streamContents: [ :html |
html page: 'Monticello Repository' do: [
html tag: #ul do: [
self mczEntries do: [ :each |
html tag: #li do: [
html
tag: #a
attributes: { #href.
each }
with: each ] ] ] ] ]

My guess is lies in the difference in the payload returned.
http://www.squeaksource.com/MooseSQL/ produces a html page:

and the static smalltalkhub site does not:

I think that all of the monticello web sites return an html web page listing of
packages and presumably the static site should produce html ... I'm sure that
the dynamic version of smalltalkhub produced html pages as well and for now we
are caught between a rock and a hard place ... the dynamic site is flakey and
the static site breaks existing Monticello package list reading code:)

As I've started digging around, I have found that this url[1] does produce the
correct list of mcz files in the browser, but is currently failing to produce
any list at all in GLASS ... so there is a different mystery ... other than the
fact that this url[1] was working prior(?) to the switchover (if in fact the
DNS has propagated to all the right spots) and has been working for all of the
other http Monticello repositories for over a decade:)
I will continue digging ...

Christophe,
There is a new(?) problem that we are having that has been reported in this
thread on the GLASS list[1] where I am able to successfully download an mcz
file [2], but get a `Not Found` error when I try to list the mcz files in a
project[3]. The missing mcz list is consistent with the failed builds that I am
now seeing on travis [4] and that are being reported by Brodbeck[1]. I have yet
to get to a point where I can debug the problems directly and determine what is
actually going on and of course I can't tell if these are the results of slow
DNS propagation.
In this case [2][3], the list of file shows up on the dynamic(?) site:
<popmbnhcnehhanno.png>
and can be downloaded by pressing the download for the selected mcz file, but
the missing list of packages[3] is likely to be the root cause of the problem.

Hi Dale,
Sorry, I did not see your message before.
Yesterday, I switched smalltalkhub to the static version (a bit earlier than
announced) to avoid frequent downtimes we had with smalltalkhub.
I did not measure but downloads should now be faster and reliable.
Do not hesitate to ping if you have any problem.
Cheers,
Christophe

If you are not going to keep the current smalltalkhub site functional, why
don't you switch to the static site and give those of us who DEPEND upon static
access to mcz files a reliable site to connect to ... I have plans to move
completely away from mcz files, but I didn't plan on doing that this week ...
and frankly I don't have the cycles to do that ... right now ...
Here's a screenshot of a manual login and navigation to the mcz file that is
