Re: [arch-dev-public] Poor man's mirror redirector

It's probably not that useful and don't even think about using that url in pacman. It will redirect you to a random mirror on every request no matter if that mirror is up or has this file. (also pacman doesn't seem to handle https; but once could use the curl xfer command (wget has poor https support too))

You sure? I've been using native https for a few months now to get around a firewall that likes to eat packages for some reason. Dale
