654208 - Create dynamically-updated list of mirrors

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Webtools :: Bouncer, defect, P2)

Description

[Kev Needham [:kev]]

Some of the security software firms have requested a list of mirrors for reputation-based checking for downloads of Firefox. Historically we've pointed them at http://www.mozilla.org/community/mirrors.html, but it'd be simpler if we had a .txt or .xml file with a frequently updated/realtime list of mirror sites that are advertised through the download link on mozilla.com.

Would it be possible to create a page/file that can be downloaded that lists our mirror servers per above?

Looks like all API calls return XML. You only need to return a list of URLs, right?

Does this need to be behind authentication? (all API calls are behind authentication for now)

Attachment: Proposed patch

This returns an XML list of this form:

<mirrors>
  <mirror baseurl="http://mozilla.mirrors.skynet.be/pub/ftp.mozilla.org"/>
  <mirror baseurl="http://ftp.spnet.net/mozilla"/>
</mirrors>

Kev: Is it the format you want?

Proposed patch

If this is what Kev was looking for, then r+, the patch looks good. Thanks for adding documentation too :)

Question is also, is this supposed to be behind auth or open to the public? I guess since the admin host is behind VPN altogether, it won't be "public" either way.
