Thread: Canadian website mirror
Hi, I just tried to go to http://www2.ca.postgresql.org:81/, like a good mirror-user, and I get a 403 message, "This mirror is available for Canadians only." Now, I know that Tranna is evil and everything, but last I checked we hadn't separated :-). Anyway, how is the checking of originating address being done? I'm just curious.

Must be something Marc set up since I'm the webmaster and don't recall ever seeing this one. www.ca. should work tho and you may find www.us. to be as fast if not faster.
