BUG: JHymn can't find sources because there is no user agent in the http request

[schlu-do@…]

I tried to install aqua/JHymn, but unfortunately there are no sources for version 0.8.5 available at the website ​http://www.hymn-project.org/download/.

Buut even when I changed the version to the current 0.9.2 (and the md5-sum for that), it still won't load the ZIP archive.

A manual download with Safari was no problem, after that the build and install with 0.9.2 succeeded.

I have confirmed the same problem. "wget" can't download the URL. I get a "permission denied" error. A browser such as FireFox or Safari can download it just fine. Maybe the web site has a special trick to prevent direct downloads?

although i can reproduce the problem on my machine (jhymn can't be fetched) it's not curl's fault.

• (sudo) port fetch JHymn doesn't work
• /opt/local/bin/wget ​http://www.hymn-project.org/download/JHymn_0_9_2_source.zip works fine
  • make sure you have write access to the directory you're in
• /opt/local/bin/curl -gO ​http://www.hymn-project.org/download/JHymn_0_9_2_source.zip works fine
• /usr/bin/curl -gO ​http://www.hymn-project.org/download/JHymn_0_9_2_source.zip works fine

(see ​http://paste.lisp.org/display/36616 for the output)

Exactly. As far as I can tell from reading /Library/Tcl/darwinports1.0/darwinports.tcl, MacPorts uses curl -L -s -S -o to download portfiles, but even using those switches I can download hymn just fine. But MacPorts itself will not, and I don't understand why not.

[kballard (Lily Ballard)]

Actually it's using a command defined in Pextlib, which uses the curl library. Granted, it should still work. I'm tracing the code right now to see what's going on.

[kballard (Lily Ballard)]

Turns out the hymn-project server returns a 406 error code if a user agent isn't sent in the request. That's very silly.

Fixed in r22771 (merged into 1.4 branch in r22772). Requires recompiling MacPorts from svn, or waiting for next RC of 1.4.
