In the end I wrote a function. It solved the closer.cgi issue I was =
having by using the as_json=3D1 query param that Vladimir suggested.

#!/bin/bash

function install_jmeter() {
    # ------------------------------------------------
    #      Decide where to download jmeter from
    #
    # Order of preference:
    #   1. Mirror, if the desired version is current
    #   2. S3, if not current and we have a copy
    #   3. Archive, as a backup
    # ------------------------------------------------

    # Mirrors only host the current version, get the preferred mirror =
for this location
    preferred_mirror=3D$(curl -s =
'http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi?as_json=3D1' | grep "preferred" | =
cut -d ':' -f3 | cut -d'"' -f1 | awk -F// '{print $NF}' | sed 's/.$//')
    # Scrape the main binaries page to see what the current version is
    current=3D$(curl -s 'http://www.apache.org/dist/jmeter/binaries/')

    if [ $(echo $current | grep -c "$JMETER_VERSION") -gt "0" ] ; then
        # This is the current version of jmeter so use the preferred =
mirror to download
        echo "downloading from preferred mirror: =
http://$preferred_mirror/jmeter/binaries/$JMETER_VERSION.tgz"
        wget -q -O $REMOTE_HOME/$JMETER_VERSION.tgz =
http://$preferred_mirror/jmeter/binaries/$JMETER_VERSION.tgz
    elif [ $(curl -sI =
https://s3.amazonaws.com/jmeter-ec2/$JMETER_VERSION.tgz | grep -c "403 =
Forbidden") -eq "0" ] ; then
        # It wasn't the current version but we have a copy on S3 so use =
that
        echo "Downloading jmeter from S3"
        wget -q -O $REMOTE_HOME/$JMETER_VERSION.tgz =
https://s3.amazonaws.com/jmeter-ec2/$JMETER_VERSION.tgz
    else
        # Fall back to the archive server
        echo "Downloading jmeter from Apache Archive"
        wget -q -O $REMOTE_HOME/$JMETER_VERSION.tgz =
http://archive.apache.org/dist/jmeter/binaries/$JMETER_VERSION.tgz
    fi

    # Untar downloaded file
    tar -xf $REMOTE_HOME/$JMETER_VERSION.tgz
}
JMETER_VERSION=3D"apache-jmeter-2.13"
REMOTE_HOME=3D"/tmp"
install_jmeter
