''darin:'' Yes, I have tested this out, and it seems to work. The only problem is that the various web servers do not all compute ETags in the same way, so we cannot issue If-Match requests, but that should be okay since the URLs of the files being downloaded should be sufficent to make the entities unique. | ''darin:'' Yes, I have tested this out, and it seems to work.

''justdave:'' NO!!! The primary mirrors support it, but there's no way to guarantee that the secondaries do, and the primary mirrors don't have enough available bandwidth to support every Firefox user downloading at once when we have an update. Anything the update service downloads needs to be obtained via our download redirector on download.mozilla.org, so the bandwidth gets distributed to all of the primary and secondary mirrors according to who has bandwidth available. | |||
