Yeah, It looks like the redirection action it takes is to send you off
to a mirror. Without the direct uri I was just taken off to a ?.edu
mirror. if you add the direct mozzila.org in there it seems to always
pull from the offical mozilla.org site. So I guess I really doesn't
matter all that much. Last night it must have redirected me to a site
that was currently down, or something along those lines.
Anyhow, thankx for the update, I had already changed my module to use
mozill.org last night. So the moonbase change wont directly affect me,
but it will be worth watching to see if the ftp directory structure
keeps getting shifted, we will may need to just bounce back to the
/pub/firefox method if they do indeed keep futzing up the structure :)
