Can you confirm what download.mozilla.org link the nightly stub installer is fetching? Or, alternatively, the full path of whatever file the stub installer ultimately downloads?

Wondering if it's a caching issue...


Dropping prio to prevent paging.

Here's what I'm seeing from my HTTP Debugging Proxy (Fiddler) when running the stub with the nightly stub from nightly.mozilla.org:

GET http://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-nightly-latest&os=win&lang=en-US
302 Found to http://wpc.1237.edgecastcdn.net/801237/download.cdn.mozilla.net/pub/mozilla.org//firefox/nightly/latest-mozilla-central/firefox-19.0a1.en-US.win32.installer.exe

GET http://wpc.1237.edgecastcdn.net/801237/download.cdn.mozilla.net/pub/mozilla.org//firefox/nightly/latest-mozilla-central/firefox-19.0a1.en-US.win32.installer.exe
200 OK (application/octet-stream)

Hah, found the problem... it seems there's a double-slash in there somewhere:

http://wpc.1237.edgecastcdn.net/801237/download.cdn.mozilla.net/pub/mozilla.org//firefox/nightly/

Succeeds (incorrect)

http://wpc.1237.edgecastcdn.net/801237/download.cdn.mozilla.net/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/

Fails (correct... nightly/aurora should not be on CDN)


I will investigate and fix.

I've fixed this in bounceradmin (indeed, an incorrect trailing slash), and also committed a fix to the origin's apache config, to properly deny requests with an extra slash. I've also issued a cache flush for Edgecast, to wipe out any improperly-cached files.

I've confirmed all active mirrors already didn't have the extra slash except this one... so I expect now that this one is fixed there won't be any further issues like this. At least, if there are, they should be completely different issues under the hood. :)

It might take up to an hour for this to start working as expected, but all the work is done. Very well spotted!

There was discussion in one of the channels where we were talking about this bug not being fixed yet. I was not able to test and verify this because the stub-installer would fail almost immediately after double-clicking on it.

The last thing I read in the evening was that Jake had a few potential ways to fix and was going to try to get feedback on those.

This should be fixed now. It's a temporary measure, but will stay in place until the permanent fix is in place, so for all intents and purposes we're good to go.

I can verify this is now working. Using the stub installer downloads and installs the latest nightly available.
