#51346: nou.nc: "default" host for New Zealand: ping succeeds, HTTP times out -----------------------------+--------------------- Reporter: macports@… | Owner: admin@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: server/hosting | Version: 2.3.4 Resolution: | Keywords: Port: | -----------------------------+--------------------- Comment (by macports@…): TL;DR: It appears `nou.nc` is now responding to HTTP requests again. I don't yet know why it wasn't before. Thanks for the prompt response, and confirmation that `host_blacklist` should contain the full domain name. The blacklist ''did'' work for me, in my "try all plausible options" list; I didn't do an A/B test of "short version" vs "long version" to figure out which was needed. Possibly the documentation and/or config file default could say "list the full domain name here". The `nou.nc` also just worked for me now, from New Zealand. So, possibly someone was able to fix something, or possibly it's less loaded: so far I haven't heard back from the mirror admin either way yet. Thanks for the "access MaxCDN node by IP to find out where it is" tip: `You are hitting the MaxCDN Los Angeles Datacenter`. So it is West Coast North America as I'd guessed from the RTT time. Ewen PS: I created a ticket in case others were experiencing what seemed to be a persistent problem (lasted at least an hour of me debugging it between doing other things). And because it wasn't obvious how to contact the mirror operator. ProTip: Turns out one needs to log into the MacPorts Wiki in order to see the email address to contact for the mirror operator. (Which I figured out only after I'd logged in and created the ticket... :-) ) -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/51346#comment:4> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
