Last year in bug #64273 I reported that requesting a nonexistent file from your download servers erroneously resulted in a 200 OK status code instead of the expected 404 Not Found status code, making it impossible for MacPorts to tell when a download had failed. We were using URLs like: http://uk.php.net/distributions/php-5.3.222.tar.bz2 I was advised to switch to using URLs like: http://uk.php.net/get/php-5.3.222.tar.bz2/from/this/mirror And that is what I did. Afterward, the original style of URL was fixed to return a 404 Not Found error when appropriate. Now, I have discovered that the form of URL I was advised to switch to has the same problem. It returns a 200 OK for nonexistent files. Can this please be fixed again? Which of these forms is the currently recommended form to use? Test script: --------------- curl -I -L http://uk.php.net/get/php-5.3.222.tar.bz2/from/this/mirror Expected result: ---------------- HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found etc. Actual result: -------------- HTTP/1.1 200 OK Date: Sun, 13 Apr 2014 06:24:29 GMT Server: Apache/2 X-Powered-By: PHP/5.4.21 Content-language: en Set-Cookie: COUNTRY=USA%2C70.116.59.133; expires=Sun, 20-Apr-2014 06:24:29 GMT; path=/ Status: 200 OK Cache-Control: private Pragma: no-cache Vary: Accept-Encoding,User-Agent Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=67062&edit=1
