Hey List,
I am writing a script for a local proxy and I want to add the full list of mirrors into the proxy allowed acls. Is there a machine readable list of all hosts and url's of all public mirrors? The other option I had in mind is parsing the table at: http://mirror-status.centos.org
Thanks, Eliezer

If you have a look at how https://www.centos.org/download/mirrors/ is generated, you will notice that it will fetch the data from https://www.centos.org/download/full-mirrorlist.csv
But I'm not sure if that's a good approach, because that list may change every now and then. If I were you, I would set up a local mirror using rsync from some external mirror, and point the local machines using CentOS to that mirror. That would save bandwidth, and save you from maintaining that ACL (even if it's automated).
I am writing a script for someone running foreman and he is using squid as a proxy. Now the issue is that he is using the mirror api: http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=7&arch=x86_64&repo=updates
and he the receives a tiny list of mirrors. So I wrote this script: https://gist.github.com/elico/dc1af72344231d6d49af4eacecfae8df#file-get-full -mirrolist-rb
To fetch the urls of all the active mirrors from the page: http://mirror-status.centos.org/
And it works pretty nice. The idea is that it will be updated once every while in an incremented way.
The csv looks promising but I added my 1 Cent to bucket with the first script.
