Therefore, the cost of parsing a mirror list per request seems absolutely reasonable to me, considering what the client can do with it.
It isn't much more work than parsing the HTTP redirect, anyway ;)
Nice. I wasn't aware this was true :O) Additionaly, you said in some other mail in this thread that the mirror list would be sorted and that libzypp just needs to take the first one if everything goes well and fall back to the next on error (maybe i overlooked this in your proposal on the wiki?). *That* sounds really good.
Exactly.
I should update the proposal to make that clearer. (I'm doing so right now.)
