[p2-dev] read timeout problems

[Martin Lippert <lippert@xxxxxxx>]

Hi!

I am facing an interesting problem with update sites and I hope you can 
help me understand what is going on. We have plenty of composite update 
sites that all contain just an "compositeArtifact.xml" and a 
"compositeContent.xml" file. Those files work nicely.

But we are quite often getting reports from users that their 
installation stalls when they check for updates, complaining about 
"content.jar" could not be found (with a read timeout), same for 
"compositeArtifact.jar" or similar. Even if I put up a p2.index file 
like this:

version=1
metadata.repository.factory.order=compositeContent.xml,!
artifact.repository.factory.order=compositeArtifacts.xml,!

it doesn't change much, the "check for updates" is again complaining 
about a missing file "compositeArtifact.jar".

I don't know why and what to do about this.

One thing that is special here is the fact that our server (Amazon S3) 
is serving an XML document (containing an access denied error) when a 
resource is not found (like it is the case for those resources that p2 
seems to try to download.

Any idea what I can do about this?

Thank you very much in advance for your help!!!

Cheers,
-Martin
