Now that there are quite a few java.sun.com mirror sites out there, we
are starting to see people falling into a trap associated with the html
form one fills out to get Java sources. We are only authorized to
distribute the sources from java.sun.com, and not from our mirror sites.
However, a mirrored version of http://java.sun.com/source_form.html will
still happily try to submit the form to the mirror site, and that will
fail with a warning something like
404 Not Found
The requested URL/cgi-bin/src-form.sh was not found on this server.
If you want to get sources, make sure that you are filling out the form
directly on java.sun.com and not on one of our mirror sites!
We will be updating the pages surrounding this form to warn about this
trap, but of course it takes some time to get new pages to the mirror
sites where they really matter...
