Description Bryan Gartner 2014-02-03 18:06:47 CET
Description of problem:

For both version 3 and now version 4, when one tries to download the
"Wired Network-based Installation CD" images,  the URL portrays a
very nice looking destination, i.e.

http://www.mageia.org/en/downloads/get/?q=Mageia-4-Boot-x86_64-CD.iso

however the actual target seems to be a very generic:

"boot.iso"

BTW, this seems to apply to all the "Network-based" images, even if there
is some slight distinction so that all can live in the same download directory

As someone who regularly deals with multiple distributions, and tries to
look for regressions with other projects across them, this means I
have to manually rename each download and/or use meta-information (like
sub-dirs) to keep successive copies around (due to the very generic
output filename). Note, this does not seem to apply to the other
formats (Classic, Live* ISOs) which behave as expected.

Any chance you could simply sync the target URL designation and the
download filename (and I realize I should have reported this for version 3,
but was hoping it was an exception rather than the rule as now in play
for version 4 as well)?

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:

Has existed for both version 3 and version 4 releases

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Visit any link on Network image download page:

http://www.mageia.org/en/downloads/

2. and view the resulting URL, then notice that the download artifact will have a generic name, versus the specific one found in the respective URL (both should match, best case)

These images are builded automatically, so it's a bit complexe.

Maybe there is a way to do it in php, will have a look.

For much more informations cf duplicate.
