I'm looking at this from the perspective of an overall 'failure' (perhaps too strong a word, RealJob[tm] is interfering :) What we have here is a situation where any one of a number of possible fixes can be applied to correct the situation, namely that the distfile survey is flagging a false-positive failure for this port. The options are as follows: 1. use the pobox.com URLs (in both places), and con^Wcontact Bill to make the appropriate modifications to handle the 302 redirect message 2. use the uic.edu URLs (in both places) I honestly don't mind either way -- the 'problem' gets solved with both approaches. What does bug me (a little bit), is the inconsistent use of pobox.com/uic.edu in the port. Hence the PR. At least now there's a PR that can be tracked until the appropriate solution is implemented, further improving the quality (albeit by a miniscule amount :) of the awesome ports tree and associated management tools.
