Bug #56763 for CPAN: curl downloads hang with some mirrors

Tue Apr 20 18:55:44 2010 mkanat [...] cpan.org - Ticket created

Subject:

curl downloads hang with some mirrors

This never completes: Trying with "/usr/bin/curl -L -f -s -S --netrc-optional" to get "http://ftp.heanet.ie/mirrors/ftp.perl.org/pub/CPAN/modules/02packages.de tails.txt.gz" The same with perl.secsup.org. It works fine with some mirrors, though.

Works for me. Show quoted text

You mean "http://ftp.heanet.ie/mirrors/perl.secsup.org/pub/CPAN/modules/02packages.details.txt.gz"? This gives a 404 to me. You can always verify if mirrors are working for others by visiting http://www.cs.uu.nl/stats/mirmon/cpan.html

Odd. Works for me from my local machine, too. Maybe it's something about the curl args being used that are preventing it from working on my server. In any case, unless I discover there's something better that CPAN.pm could be doing, this isn't a bug.
