Hi all;

some research on the 404 while trying to install updatetool: As I failed to
resolve this issue any other way (surprisingly, installing updates using the
web based update installer now works - at the very least yesterday I seem to
have installed a set of packages labeled b34?, installing updatetool from
the command line still fails), I used one of our machines to install a
temporary proxy to see which URLs are requested by updatetool in course of
trying its installation: Subsequently, running updatetool with proxy
configured revealed an attempted access to these both urls:


-> Jan 30 08:15:20.700 Privoxy(b7dfbb90) Request:
pkg.glassfish.org/v3/dev/solaris-x86/catalog/0

... this one works, both through updatetool and using a command line browser.


-> Jan 30 08:15:23.061 Privoxy(b7dfbb90) Request:
pkg.glassfish.org/v3/contrib/solaris-x86/catalog/0

... this one doesn't work, neither from updatetool nor from the Solaris
command line browser nor using any other browser on my development notebook,
so I blame this to be responsible for the updatetool installer problems. :)


So to assume: Is the /contrib/ repository for solaris-x86 broken or just a
wrong URL added to glassfish distribution here? For what I see, the contrib
packages for Linux to be found at

pkg.glassfish.org/v3/contrib/linux/catalog/0


reliably do work... Thoughts / comments on that? :)


Cheers and all the best,
Kristian
