i think the content-type should be ok, i can add an additional check to the patch if you wnat to use it, (needs cleanups anyway) > I like this approach, but IMO it is not uscan's work to workaround broken > mirror schemes and/or watch files. > This can be also considered as a separate wishlist bug for uscan, feel free > to re-file it as such :) i fully agree that it *should* not be uscan's work, but those (sf.net) mirrors are used very often, and a re deliberately broken, so it's unlikely that they will get fixed. having uscan take care of the workaround is better than having everyone do so int their watchfiles in a fragile way, or relying on external php+rewrite+someweb_server tricks. the patch should be cleaned up and improved though, which i will gladly do if this is wanted. cu robert -- Robert Lemmen http://www.semistable.com
