This will assist in troubleshooting problems with the mirror servers

I don't think it is worth the time to add tests for this since finalURL is only for troubleshooting.

Henrik, just an fyi that this will add the actual url used to download the mar to the active-update.xml and updates.xml

Actually, this doesn't need to protect against the finalURL attribute not being present

Is this URL the load balancer or the real mirror server we are downloading the update from?

It is the real one.

I don't think a test is necessary for this but will likely add one as time permits

Would we be able to backport this change to older branches (1.9.2 and 1.9.1)? That would also give us the information for software update tests not only on trunk.

Robert, do we need a different patch for the older branches or can we request approval?

A new patch and atm I am busy with Firefox 4.0 work so it will have to wait until I have time to backport this and other patches that aren't critical.

This is fairly critical for branch releases as the past 3 have had slow mirrors impact end-to-end release time. It isn't as important as most FF4 blockers though...

The patch in bug 530872 includes this for 1.9.2.
