RE: [eclipse-mirrors] Please check if you have "map handler defined".

Thanks... I saw that suggestion after I sent my other reply to the list.
 
However... typical corporate setup - I control the mirror, but another group controls the Web server that serves the files from the mirror.
 
After much back-and-forthing, we came up with the idea of me adding a .htaccess file to the root of the mirror area, with a single line in it:
 
RemoveHandler map
 
So... please mark the problem as fixed for the SAS Instititute Internal mirror, and you may want to collect this as a third alternative for "fixing" the problem, should it occur again in the future.

One of the other mirror maintainers came up with a fix using a little more finesse than brute force approach I used of just commenting out the line.

"Besides just removing the map handler, (if you need it) presumably you can "spec" the handler to be more specific by using
something like
"\.map$" instead of just 'map' in the addHandler config. "

We're trying to fix this for the SAS internal mirror, but it isn't as easy as commenting out that line in the httpd.conf.
 
That line is in the config file for legitimate reasons, and we actually do use it at SAS, so commenting out the line is not an option for us.
 
I'll post back when we find an alternative fix.

We've gotten a few bug reports against mirrors, the following three specifically.


SWITCH in Switzerland

Georgia Tech. Software Library (http)

SAS Institute Inc. (http) [internal mirror for SAS employees]



See bug
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=149366


In the past, we've seen this problem as a result of how mirrors had their apache servers configured,
Mark Martin provided this "fix" for the earlier problem, so ... I'm hoping this note helps "mirror admins"
to check to see if they have this handler defined on their systems.

The problem file has the word "map" in the file name. The version of Apache I
am running has an entry "AddHandler imap-file map", for serve parsed imagemap
files. Commenting out this entry fixes the file download problem.
