- Subject: Can't get list of download sites
Hi,
I seem to be having problem with running setup.exe because it says
"Can't get the list of download sites.". This is what I've found so far:
1. I can use my mozilla browser to access
http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/mirrors.lst
2. Performed a packet trace on setup.exe and found the following HTTP
transaction by setup.exe:
GET /cygwin/mirrors.lst HTTP/1.0\r\n
Host: sources.redhat.com\r\n
\r\n
and remote site reset the TCP link.
3. I ran "telnet sources.redhat.com 80" and executed the above
instructions and it failed as expected
4. I then tried the telnet again with the following instructions:
GET /cygwin/mirrors.lst HTTP/1.0\r\n
Host: sources.redhat.com\r\n
User-Agent: cygwin
\r\n
And it works!
I suggest that the setup.exe program be fixed so that the download can work.
P.S. I do not use a web proxy and I don't think my ISP uses a
transparent proxy.
