Erik de Bruin commented on FLEX-33149:
--------------------------------------

Excellent idea. I've updated my contribution to include this fallback, whic=
h is triggered when the CGI is not found.

Note: this solution is now part of my 'mega-patch', attached to FLEX-33106.=
 I have removed all my other patches. I was getting my patches crossed, and=
 as the Ghostbusters noted: "Don't cross the patches=E2=80=A6 It would be b=
ad=E2=80=A6 Try to imagine all life as you know it stopping instantaneously=
 and every molecule in your body exploding at the speed of light." ;-)

> Erik de Bruin's proposal:
> 1. Create 'single-mirror-url.cgi' in the root of the site (i.e. http://in=
cubator.apache.org/flex/single-mirror-url.cgi) with these three lines:
>    =20
> #!/bin/sh
> # Wrapper around the standard mirrors.cgi script
> exec /www/www.apache.org/dyn/mirrors/mirrors.cgi $*
> 2. Create 'single-mirror-url.html' (.mdtext?) next to the .cgi from step =
1., with only this line:
>    =20
> [preferred]
>    =20
> 3. Set CGI script permissions to executable:
>    =20
> % chmod a+x single-mirror-url.cgi
> 4. In 'ApacheFlexConfig.xml', change the 'path' attribute of the 'ApacheF=
lexSDK' node to "/incubator/flex/4.8.0-incubating/binaries/" and the 'file'=
 attribute to "apache-flex-sdk-4.8.0-incubating-bin.zip". Note: the applica=
tion (when patched) will take care of the addition of the mirror domain to =
complete the URL.
> 5. Apply patches to InstallApacheFlex source:
> InstallApacheFlex.txt for InstallApacheFlex.mxml
> ViewResourceConstants.txt for ViewResourceConstants.as
> RuntimeLocale.txt for RuntimeLocale.as
> HTH and that I understood the rules and regulations for patching, comment=
ing etc. correctly (if not, please tell me and I'll behave better next time=
).=20
