http://gd.tuwien.ac.at/opsys/linux/gentoo/distfiles/subversion-1.6.4.tar.bz2 i suppose that this mirror should react as all the other ones, and reply a 404 Not Found when trying to fetch a non-existent (obsolete) file. However, it replies a nice 302 which redirects the web client to: http://gd.tuwien.ac.at/.admin/missing/server.php?name=GD.TUWIEN.AC.AT I'm not sure if this is the right place to mention it. Please forgive me if i'm wrong.

Please forgive me if i'm > wrong. Thanks for reporting, Raphael. Antonin, I'm am adding you to CC here. Hopefully you can help resolve this issue because we need a 404 reply. I'm not sure if you are the right person to contact, please point me to the correct person if possible. Thanks.
ping? updates?
Antonín replied me by email but it still seems broken: $ wget http://gd.tuwien.ac.at/opsys/linux/gentoo/distfiles/subversion-1.6.4.tar.bz2 --2010-04-22 21:03:44-- http://gd.tuwien.ac.at/opsys/linux/gentoo/distfiles/subversion-1.6.4.tar.bz2 Resolving gd.tuwien.ac.at... 192.35.244.50 Connecting to gd.tuwien.ac.at|192.35.244.50|:80... connected.

I wonder if Gentoo mirror admins consider this harmful or not. Antonín: the ErrorLog directive has nothing to do with this. Try: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/core.html#errordocument with a 404 code, and without the leading "http://server.com" part. See: "Note that when you specify an ErrorDocument that points to a remote URL ... the client will not receive the original error status code, but instead will receive a redirect status code." You may also prefer to limit the 404 behavior to the Gentoo repository: <Directory ...linux/gentoo/distfiles> ErrorDocument 404 default </Directory>
(In reply to comment #3) > I wonder if Gentoo mirror admins consider this harmful or not. Yes, it is harmful. That is why we want it resolved. :) Unfortunately, we will have to pull this mirror from the official listings if it is not resolved. Antonín, please keep communications in public in the future so we know you are fixing it or otherwise responding. Thanks.

Btw. just in case there´s approp. box in the mirror record, it might also be desirable to mention not only the mirror (backstore of Tb goodies) but also additionally the frontend interface @ www.gdsw.at. Nevertheless it´s not a "must" :-)) - Antonin in Vienna
Thanks for the info, closing bug now.
thanks everyone
