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.

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