Yes, people reported that issue just recently: https://issues.guix.gnu.org/45174 Until that is fixed, and until the fix propagates to user installations, I think you=E2=80=99ll have to arrange so that the mirror transparently pro= xies requests instead of returning 302, or just returns 404. How does that sound? Thanks, Ludo=E2=80=99.
