Fair enough, it is certainly a non-trivial problem to solve. It is worth noting that Google seems to be directing people to the site over HTTPS though, see this screenshot from a local search for "PHP": <https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByYSbmc9YE-cSm92OHA5b29WWUU/view?usp=sharing> Based on this I suspect folks are going to be running in to certificate errors (and we have indeed already had one person report a "weird certificate" to us). I am not sure what could be done to solve this, though. Would you prefer port 443 just not listen? We'd need to re-jig our mirror server if that was the case but it could be done. -- Michael Fincham, Senior Systems and Network Administrator Catalyst.net.nz Phone: +64 4 499 2267
