My mirror has 140TB of space so I can mirror anything as long as there is a 
valid request, and the project has enough usage (traffic).

My mirror also support HTTP, I just do not announce it by default because HTTP 
is insecure.

You know, there are lots of mirrors of Cygwin where you can get the latest.

It might be worth somehow helping out the Cygwin Time Machine project: the one 
thing that helps support Cygwin installations that cannot just be following 
whatever is current.

http://www.crouchingtigerhiddenfruitbat.org/Cygwin/timemachine.html

The site can't even be accessed via HTTPS, only HTTP. It seems very likely that 
this is provided by one individual.

Hi,

UA could be something unique similar to “Cygwin mirror/0.01” and I can 
whitelist then, but having “python-urlli will definitely trigger the WAF.

While I can completely disable the check without issues, if you want to carry a 
specific UA feel free to do it and I will then white list based on UA.

Let me know when you are ready.

OK, I'll leave the location unspecified.

I gave it a brief test with our setup program and things seem to work 
correctly (which shouldn't be surprising since it just uses the wininet

API to fetch files).

However, it seem our mirror checking script seems to get told "403 
Forbidden" when it tries to check if you are up to date.


Can you tell me (privately, if you like) what User-Agent: it should 
present? Or suggest another mechanism to allow it access?
