I noticed once I set up a mirror of my own, that Cygwin Setup will
prepend all it's URL's with a double-slash. This does not seem to be
intentional, and I found the place in the sources where I believe the
error to be.
On line 160 of "download.cc", we see that the "n->key" is the source
of the repository, including a "/", as it is used as the name of the
local cache, which always has a "%2f" in its name. That key is then
used on line 165 in "get_url_to_file", where it is concatenated with
another slash and "pkgsource.Canonical" to make the final URL.
This analysis seems correct. It would be nice if you went a bit further
and confirmed that the URL is always canonicalized to end with a '/'.
My (untested) patch removes this slash, so that the resulting URL's
will be with a single slash.
Thanks.
This looks correct, and appears to work.
In future, please try to use git format-patch, this makes it much
quicker and easier to apply the patch with the correct attribution.
