Bug 258215

Description Dave Cottlehuber 2021-09-02 14:35:14 UTC

Every few days, I run `make fetchindex`. All it needs to do is to fetch a single file that rarely changes of ~ 2.3Mb size:

fetch -am -o /dev/null https://www.FreeBSD.org/ports/INDEX-13.bz2

One might assume that this is a reasonably well understood task for a long running OS like FreeBSD, and quality hardware and we could expect it to be quite reliable.

Sadly not.

pcap from fetch & subsequent curl sessions are available here:

https://freeside.skunkwerks.at/~dch/tmp/fetchindex/

I will look through these tomorrow in hope of seeing something obvious.

This is not just me, it's been reported repeatedly for years on irc and elsewhere, and shows up fetching from Amsterdam, Frankfurt, and Finland datacentres where I have remote access.

Either something is terribly wrong with this single file, or something is terribly wrong with many files that we simply don't notice.

I'd be ok with the website issuing a 301 REDIRECT to some other site that doesn't fail so reliably, or changing `make fetchindex` to anything else that more reliable.

Finally it worked!

So I switched to using curl for simplicity sake, and ran tcpdump as well.


I should report that I am running FreeBSD 14.0-CURRENT right now, although it fails just as reliably on 13.0-RELEASE.

I am behind an OpenBSD 6.9 router, and wedged inside a consumer NAT device of morally repugnant origins, of which I have no control over.
