Description

I just applied to GSoC with a proposal to use RFC 6249 (Metalink/HTTP: Mirrors and Hashes) to discover requests for the same files from different mirrors and redirect clients to mirrors that are already cached

I am filing this JIRA ticket describing my proposal to cause the Apache organization to process it [2]. Thanks for considering this proposal
