FTP is on its way out
by Anssi Johansson 30 Aug '18

30 Aug '18

We marked FTP as deprecated on the CreatePublicMirrors wiki page in December, and now it's time to move to the next step in getting rid of FTP. Setting up firewall rules for FTP is an unneeded headache for both mirror operators and clients, and establishing connections to FTP sites is slower than establishing connections to HTTP sites. I have a neat script that sends notifications to mirror operators if it detects problems with mirrors. Some of you may have seen such emails. The email has also included information about nonworking FTP URLs. From now on, however, the script will silently remove any nonworking FTP URLs from the database if the FTP URL has been unreachable for 8 days (the default threshold for notifications), instead of sending a nag email to the mirror operator. If your FTP URL has disappeared from https://www.centos.org/download/mirrors/ , this is the reason. We will eventually remove all FTP URLs from the mirror database and stop including FTP URLs in the output of mirrorlist.centos.org. The blockers here are the few mirrors that only have an FTP URL listed (no HTTP). Two of them seem to actually have their mirror available over HTTP as well, but the HTTP URL is not listed in our database. I've sent an email to them last week asking if it's OK to add their HTTP URL, and I've also sent an email to the other FTP mirrors asking if they could make their mirror available over HTTP. Once these issues been resolved (or a sufficient amount of time has passed) we can drop the FTP URLs from our database. You are still of course free to serve the files over FTP if you wish, but there won't be any links to your FTP site from centos.org. Thanks for your cooperation!

Hey, I'm going to be discontinuing the server that mirrors.gpmidi.net is hosted on in the next few weeks. How long should I leave it up once it's removed from rotation? I'm not in a huge rush; a week or two is fine. -Paulson McIntyre

Redirects to https considered harmful
by Anssi Johansson 06 Aug '18

06 Aug '18

So let's get this straight.. There are a few CentOS mirrors that redirect their http traffic to https. This is fairly easy nowadays with Let's Encrypt and their automatic cert installation scripts. While I believe that the intention is good, I'm afraid the forced redirects are not actually helping. I can't speak for other projects, but for CentOS mirrors, I believe that you should respond using the same protocol the request was sent. My concern is that there are organizations (hospitals, banks, research centers etc) that want to make sure no confidential information leaks out from their organization. Connections to random HTTPS sites may get blocked at their firewall because the firewall can't see what's inside the request. It should also be pointed out that the scripts behind http://mirror-status.centos.org/ will (currently) happily follow all kinds of redirects to retrieve the timestamp file. However, the scripts that create the actual data for mirrorlist.centos.org for each repository are unable to access https URLs. So the moment you set up that redirect to https, your mirror stopped being included in the output of mirrorlist.centos.org. I have already tried reaching out to a few mirrors doing such redirects, but I have not received a response yet. Those mirrors will eventually be disabled after a few more automatic nag emails, but I'm hoping that those mirror operators would exclude their CentOS mirror traffic from the redirects before that happens. To be clear, you are free to offer CentOS files over https, but the redirects should be disabled. I can see the CentOS mirror system supporting https and mirrorlist.c.o (optionally) handing out https URLs some day, but even then, I believe that http requests should be answered with http, and https requests should be answered with https. Thank you for your time!
