New subject: ftpmirror.your.org - IPv4 and IPv6 give different results

17 Nov 2013

Dear Kevin,
 	Thanks for your help.  I can now see the index.html file (see 1 
below).  However, I can no longer see the other files in that directory 
(see 2 below).

1) index.html

The following

(shell)$ curl --ipv4 --verbose 
http://ftpmirror.your.org/pub/wikimedia/dumps/
(shell)$ curl --ipv6 --verbose 
http://ftpmirror.your.org/pub/wikimedia/dumps/

now both report

HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently
Location: http://dumps.wikimedia.your.org/

But the following

(shell)$ curl --ipv4 --verbose --location
http://ftpmirror.your.org/pub/wikimedia/dumps/
(shell)$ curl --ipv6 --verbose --location
http://ftpmirror.your.org/pub/wikimedia/dumps/

follow the redirect and report

HTTP/1.1 200 OK

2) Files

 	Now, however, I can not get other files from that directory.  For 
example, the following

(shell)$ curl --ipv4 --verbose 
http://ftpmirror.your.org/pub/wikimedia/dumps/rsync-dirlist-last-1-good.txt
(shell)$ curl --ipv6 --verbose 
http://ftpmirror.your.org/pub/wikimedia/dumps/rsync-dirlist-last-1-good.txt

both report

HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently
Location: http://dumps.wikimedia.your.org/r

The rather odd value for "Location" makes it impossible to follow the 
redirect.  Thus

(shell)$ curl --ipv4 --verbose --location 
http://ftpmirror.your.org/pub/wikimedia/dumps/rsync-dirlist-last-1-good.txt
(shell)$ curl --ipv6 --verbose --location 
http://ftpmirror.your.org/pub/wikimedia/dumps/rsync-dirlist-last-1-good.txt

report

HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found

Sincerely Yours,
Kent

  Nice catch!

 That should be fixed now, and sending a 301 redirect on both ipv4 and ipv6.

 Several of the pages on the “dumps” collection have hardcoded links that require them to
be in the / (root) directory, so they require their own hostname.

  Dear Ariel,

 When I compare the following two commands

 (shell)$ curl --ipv4 --verbose http://ftpmirror.your.org/pub/wikimedia/dumps/
 (shell)$ curl --ipv6 --verbose http://ftpmirror.your.org/pub/wikimedia/dumps/

 The first reports "HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently"
 The second reports "HTTP/1.1 200 OK"

 Has anyone else noticed this?

 Sincerely Yours,
 Kent
