Update manager with mirror sites doesn't work [message #461901]

Hi everyone!

We are working on a commercial Eclipse RCP application. Our aim is an integration of the update mechanism for new features in our product.
Now to my question: As far as I use only one server address to deploy new feature releases everything works and the application downloads the most recent version. But if I try to work with mirror sites the entry of an additional server doesn't have any effect.

My site.xml looks something like
<site mirrorsURL="mirrors.xml">
<feature url="features/..." version="0.4.7" os="win32" ws="win32"/>
</site>

and my mirrors.xml like
<mirrors>
<mirror url="http://..." label="testserver" />
</mirrors>

Thanks a lot for your help,
Michael

If you're sending things out via the EclipseZone system, it will eat XML and not show it in the presentation; see e.g. http://www.eclipsezone.com/eclipse/forums/m92125245.html (that's also why there's a preview button :-)

Surrounding it with (xml) and (/xml), except using [] instead of () will result in it being correctly displayed.

Sorry :-)

the update action successfully connects and opens the site.xml file.

server_log:

192.168.1.159 - - [18/Jan/2007:11:33:11 +0100] "GET /.../site.xml HTTP/1.1" 200 518 "-" "Java/1.5.0_10"
192.168.1.159 - - [18/Jan/2007:11:33:11 +0100] "GET /.../mirrors.xml?countryCode=de&timeZone=1&responseT ype=xml HTTP/1.1" 200 211 "-" "Java/1.5.0_10"
192.168.1.159 - - [18/Jan/2007:11:33:11 +0100] "GET /.../features/..._0.4.4.jar HTTP/1.1" 200 507 "-" "Java/1.5.0_10"

but the log file on the mirror doesn't show any request...

Has anyone of you a helpful idea?

Well, you're using three mirrors -- have you checked each of them?

<mirror url="http://hercules/update/" label="hercules" />
<mirror url="http://dionysos/update/" label="dionysos" />
<mirror url="http://azrael/update/" label="test" />
[/xml]

Also, you're using unqualified DNS names for these. Can you resolve them on your host? And have you checked that you can e.g. telnet to these on port 80 directly, instead of having to go through a firewall?

Unfortunately, that is not the point... Even a qualified mirror doesn't work...

Start simple, and work your way up from one mirror. It may be that it's connecting from the wrong one. Also bear in mind that there's no reason the mirror has to be consulted; it could also download from the non-mirror too.

I think you can specify a policy.xml which will do remapping of URLs to a different host, should you want to do that. At least then you could test your mirror is set up properly :-)
