that important anymore, as we have user
based Accept-language parsing which
always overrides this (and last language
and user preferred language settings, which
also override the Accept-language info)
unofficial mirrors). But do not ignore VIRTUAL mirrors
in the get_download mirror list (allow downloads from
local unofficial mirrors, when the user is on that
particular mirror).
- Apply coding scheme used on other pages
- Add much more information to 'userspace' about
mirrors, why they might get delisted, the service
they provide, etc. Also more information on the
role of the default language.
- Depend only on mirror URLs, and the functions
now capable of providing information about any
mirror given it's URL. This makes this page
totally independent on the $MIRRORS array's
internal structure. Now it only relies on the
fact, that it's an associative array, with the
keys as the mirror URLs
- Do list special mirrors, but don't list outdated
mirrors. This is part of the modifications to move
from using the "special mirror" mark to delist a
mirror. The new array structure contains the status
information now, so we can depend on it.
At last, php.net will be listed on php.net as the
current mirror, and on other mirror's as being a
mirror site.
amounts to 336,467,736 bytes less traffic that www.php.net would have had to
send on Friday. (More or less.) Or 74,302,558 bytes less data that would have
been sent for requests to the home page so far this month.
