Here's the original message I sent to news.php.net/php.mirrors, but
the NTTP interface doesn't work both ways(?).
It should work...
I've been experimenting with mirmon.pl and here are the results.
<URL: http://iso.ego.fi/php_mirrors/ >
am.php.net - no lastmodified time, times out often
at2.php.net - mirror age over 10 days
bo.php.net - no lastmodified time, times out often
ch.php.net - mirror age over 3 days
co.php.net - no lastmodified time, connection refused
cr2.php.net - times out often
id.php.net - times out often
kr.php.net - wget as useragent gives 403 - forbidden
kr2.php.net - 404 not found
tr.php.net - no lastmodified time, times out often
ua2.php.net - times out often
us3.php.net - mirror age over 12 days
www.php.net - mirror age over 3 days
yu.php.net - mirror age over 6 days
Interesting. What is mirmon.pl actually? Is it your own code?
BTW we are able to detect mirror ages, and we do record that. us3, yu and the likes are autodisabled because they are old... am.php.net, co.php.net and the likes are also disabled for the resons you state above. :) So it seems our mirror monitoring is not too bad either :)
