That's obviously an HTML file, not a gzip-compressed diff. So now I feel comfortable committing my patch. ...except that the download link I put in the patch 6 days ago no longer works; it just delivers a file containing the string "Illegal download attempt". Searching Google for this, I see that this is part of the Joomla extension Remository, which is [http://remository.com/forum/func,view/id,8175/catid,8/ specifically designed] to give you download links that are only good for a limited period of time, and to make it impossible to provide permanent links to files. Which makes it not useful for our needs so there's no point in us trying to use it. I committed my patch in r102700 with a change to download the hpn patch from the Google Code mirror I mentioned above. If for a future update of this patch we are required to use the Remository link because we can find no existing mirrors, we could employ a technique like that used by the curl-ca-bundle port to only attempt to use the upstream site for a limited time following the commit, and after that use only our mirrors. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/37870#comment:7> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
