Folks,
We have a user of one of IBM's Eclipse-based
products that is having issues installing anything. I just got
a .log file from them, and it appears that they are being
redirected to http://xxxx for everything- is that one of the "official" mirror
sites for Eclipse? If so, it is down, and needs to be removed.
Along these same lines, is there somewhere that I can look to
see the official mirror sites, so that I can more quickly
determine an issue like this?
FWIW,

I don't know the answer to your main question, but will say this
also sounds like a p2 or network bug -- especially if the product
uses a "modern" version of p2. p2 is supposed to (and, as far as I
know, it *does*) ignore mirrors that have problems and move on to
the next mirror in the list. That's why I mentioned "net work
problems". You might have them provide the output of a command
such as
wget -q -O -
"http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/webtools/downloads/drops/R3.8.2/R-3.8.2-20170308000057/repository/&format=xml"
> testoutput.xml
(Or, you can use the URL in a browser too but then it won't show
"auto redirect" messages. And, of course, use a "file=" value that
makes sense for the exact problem they are encountering).
If they are getting back one and only one mirror, then that is an
issue of their own internal network redirecting them to some
internal proxy.
Let us know what you learn!
