[cross-project-issues-dev] Why do I get redirected to ftp:osuosl.org?

[Thomas Hallgren <thomas@xxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I'm currently not able to build against the 
http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/3.7-I-builds repository on 
my local machine. I've traced it down to this:

I make an attempt to access:

  
http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/3.7-I-builds/compositeContent.jar

I get redirected to:

  
http://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/eclipse/eclipse/updates/3.7-I-builds/compositeContent.jar

The download of the compositeContent.jar succeeds. The composite then 
contains relative entries so now attempts are made to access:

  
http://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/eclipse/eclipse/updates/3.7-I-builds/I20101019-0800/content.jar

That fails because this file doesn't exist. I have eclipse.p2.mirrors 
set to false so the redirect and subsequent failure must have other 
reasons. As a comparison, I have no problems at all building against 
http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/3.7milestones

Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Thomas Hallgren
