Erik de Bruin commented on FLEX-33149:
--------------------------------------
Excellent idea. I've updated my contribution to include this fallback, which is
triggered when the CGI is not found.
Note: this solution is now part of my 'mega-patch', attached to FLEX-33106. I
have removed all my other patches. I was getting my patches crossed, and as the
Ghostbusters noted: "Don't cross the patches… It would be bad… Try to imagine
all life as you know it stopping instantaneously and every molecule in your
body exploding at the speed of light." ;-)

> Key: FLEX-33149
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLEX-33149
> Project: Apache Flex
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Reporter: OmPrakash Muppirala
> Assignee: Bertrand Delacretaz
> Priority: Critical
>
> Erik de Bruin's proposal:
> 1. Create 'single-mirror-url.cgi' in the root of the site (i.e.
> http://incubator.apache.org/flex/single-mirror-url.cgi) with these three
> lines:
>
> #!/bin/sh
> # Wrapper around the standard mirrors.cgi script
> exec /www/www.apache.org/dyn/mirrors/mirrors.cgi $*
> 2. Create 'single-mirror-url.html' (.mdtext?) next to the .cgi from step 1.,
> with only this line:
>
> [preferred]
>
> 3. Set CGI script permissions to executable:
>
> % chmod a+x single-mirror-url.cgi
> 4. In 'ApacheFlexConfig.xml', change the 'path' attribute of the
> 'ApacheFlexSDK' node to "/incubator/flex/4.8.0-incubating/binaries/" and the
> 'file' attribute to "apache-flex-sdk-4.8.0-incubating-bin.zip". Note: the
> application (when patched) will take care of the addition of the mirror
> domain to complete the URL.
> 5. Apply patches to InstallApacheFlex source:
> InstallApacheFlex.txt for InstallApacheFlex.mxml
> ViewResourceConstants.txt for ViewResourceConstants.as
> RuntimeLocale.txt for RuntimeLocale.as
> HTH and that I understood the rules and regulations for patching, commenting
> etc. correctly (if not, please tell me and I'll behave better next time).
