'VOMongoConnectionError' when dowloading mcz from smalltalkhub.com
SmalltalkHub mcz downloads are broken ... looks like a mongo server has
gone down? .... I ran into this problem running production tests
yesterday and today I find that while the smalltalkhub site is up, I
cannot download an mcz file, using this url:
http://smalltalkhub.com/mc/dkh/metacello/main/Metacello-Base-dkh.109.mcz.
If you are not going to keep the current smalltalkhub site functional,
why don't you switch to the static site and give those of us who DEPEND
upon static access to mcz files a reliable site to connect to ... I have
plans to move completely away from mcz files, but I didn't plan on doing
that this week ... and frankly I don't have the cycles to do that ...
right now ...
Here's a screenshot of a manual login and navigation to the mcz file
that is failing to download:
And when I press the Download .mcz button, I get the following
"response" after a delay:
Hi Dale,
Can't you use this?
http://static.smalltalkhub.com/dkh/metacello/mc/Metacello-Base-dkh.109.mcz
Available at:
http://static.smalltalkhub.com/dkh/metacello/mc/
Maybe the requests to the "dynamic" SmalltalkHub could be rewritten to
point to the static version of it.

I can hack things to make my single test case work, but there is code
and configuration files at GemStone/GLASS/GsDevKit sites around the
world that I cannot edit ... If I was told "sorry we are not going to
make sure that the smalltalkhub servers are going to work any more",
then I wouldn't have a choice, but to drop everything and do the
conversion RIGHT NOW.
Eventually there is going to be a (hopefully) more stable static site
and IF/WHEN that happens I won't have to change anything, but this
interim flakiness of the smalltalkhub servers is getting to be annoying ...

If the dynamic servers are going to be unreliable, then this is probably
a better solution, I'm sure that the folks who are still actively using
the dynamic site aren't pleased with the flakiness either:)

Well, I haven't see any email response, but today (after two days of

http://smalltalkhub.com/mc/dkh/metacello/main/Metacello-Base-dkh.109.mcz
is now downloading successfully, so THANK YOU, to whoever fixed the problem!

Hi Dale,
Sorry, I did not see your message before.
Yesterday, I switched smalltalkhub to the static version (a bit earlier than announced) to avoid frequent downtimes we had with smalltalkhub.
I did not measure but downloads should now be faster and reliable.
Do not hesitate to ping if you have any problem.
Cheers,
Christophe

Are you sure ?
For me, http://smalltalkhub.com is different from http://static.smalltalkhub.com
And the download links
and
are coming from a different server.

Again, I don't know what software is serving SmalltalkHub HTTP
requests, but can't we make a redirect or rewrite rule in the HTTP
request to transparently answer the proper resource when requested?
It would be simply removing the /mc and changing the hostname.
This way Baselines and other dependencies don't have to be rewritten
to continue working.

Yes, there are DNS caches probably stil referring to the non-static version.
Maybe you can try this: https://coolestguidesontheplanet.com/clear-the-local-dns-cache-in-osx/

I do not get what you mean.
The static version rewrites old / used urls so that all URLs that are used in baselines or whatever are still served transparently.
We took care of this to do not break the load of old piece of software.

Hi Cristophe,
I was referring to exactly what you mention you did to preserve the
load of dependencies.
But since it failed me, and also to Dale and others I know, I thought
it was not the case that such consideration was in place.
Thanks!
