We are still waiting to get the preferred mirror via a call to the cgi
script. Nick, any updates on this?

My understanding is:
The mentors need to decide if this must be released. One has said yes so
far.
If yes, it must be source, and everything buildable with the build

It seems to parse a list of mirror sites and does some sort of round-robin
selection of a mirror.
This wouldn't be something I'd want to maintain client-side. Should Apache
change it's mirror rules or anything else to that effect, we don't want to
anger one of the mirror hosts, or be responsible

Just out of curiosity, how does closer.cgi actually work? Is it something
we can write in AS using Sockets/URLLoader?

Ok, so adding the two tiny files (CGI and HTML, a solution approved
and promoted by Greg Stein from the 'infra' list) to SVN will allow us
to test this?

Could something like the below be included as part of the Flex installer
code to parse the mirror site ?

That's the idea, yes. The CGI returns 'text', which is basically a
string representation of an URL like 'http://apache.org/mirror1/";

It does not matter where we host the installer binary. Erik's proposal
will let the installer load the Flex binaries from the preferred mirror
location.
The problem we are trying to solve here is how to get that preferred mirror
url info injected into the installer app. We need to figure this ou
I see your point, and I'm sure we'll figure out a way to host Om's 'artifact'.
What I was working on, however, was a way for the app to collect a
random mirror URL once it's running on the end-user's system. The app
uses this URL to download the SDK binaries to the user's machine. For
this we seem

I can call the 'closer-cgi' (whatever that is, I'd have to read up a

I was thinking about this. One way to do this is to resolve the preferred
mirror url on the server side and write it to the config xml that the app
loads on initialize.
I am guessing a CGI script or jsp page calls the closer-cgi, gets the
correct url and populates the config xml.
